Frederick W. Morrice, 30, reporter, rescued Walter W. Fox, 9, from suffocation, Goshen, Indiana, November 3, 1909. After two men had failed to rescue Walter, Morrice entered the parlor of a burning house in search of him. After proceeding about 10 feet, he was compelled to retreat on account of the smoke and heat. He next entered the dining room, through a broken door out of which dense smoke poured, and, dropping on his hands and knees, crawled around until he found Walter. Picking up the boy, Morrice groped his way through the heat and smoke to the door and, dazed, staggered onto the porch. Walter died the following morning. 4442-502
