September 22, 1927:
Harriett Elizabeth, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Caudle, was killed at their home out north of town about three o'clock Friday afternoon by a molasses pan falling on her and crushing her stomach and chest. A large molasses pan had been placed against a tree near the house and Harriett Elizabeth and a brother two years older were playing around it. Apparently the boy pushed the pan over in trying to climb it or in playing around it and it fell catching the girl under it. The boy immediately called for his mother and the pan was lifted and the little child took from under it. Mr. Caudle went to the home of Frank Jarrett and he came and got Dr. Little, but the child was dead before they got back. She lived just a few minutes after being taken from under the pan. Little Harriett Elizabeth was just 1 year, 10 months and three days old. The little body was laid to rest in the Caudle Cemetery Saturday afternoon.
