On page 101, 102, 103. "Murray County Heritage" Book Horrible Holocaust Dr. Bagwell, his three children, Emmett, Ernest, and Florence,(aged six, three years, and six month, respectively,) and Mrs. Williams, who kept house for him, went up in the flames and smoke of his burning residence - the Dr. and Mrs. Williams dying with the children in their arms, martyrs upon the cross of parental love and sublime duty. Dr. John Gilbert and Frank Williams were sleeping in another room and were awaken by the smoke and groans of the dying ones, and bravely tried to go to the rescue. The victims of the tragedy were buried next to Mrs. Bagwell who had died just a few months earlier. Dr. Gilbert, one of the fire's two survivors, went on to practice in Murray and Gordon Counties for some time. Frank Williams, who was Mrs. Williams grandson, later moved to Texas. Mrs. Williams, the former Nancy Rogers and a native of Murray County, has many relatives in the Rogers and Springfield families living in Murray County today. The North Georgia Citizen of May 11, 1899 contains some additional in formation about the fire. (There is more about this fire in the book, if you think it is the one you want, let me know.) I don't see anything about a Cherokee Indian being involved. Louise
