When he was 4 months old hot coffee was spilled on him and he died of his injuries. His death was recounted in the newspaper:

Fatally Scalded

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur William's four months old infant met with a sad accident last Thursday from the effects of which it died Friday morning. It seems that the poor little child turned a cup of hot coffee over on itself in some way and was fatally scalded thereby. The family have the sympathy of the whole community in their bereavement. -- El Capitan^[2]

Note

The paper was published a week after the accident. The accident happened on the previous Thursday and he died the next day which was the 6th.
