The Chariton Patriot Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 28, 1875 A little daughter of WM. WILLIAMS, living a few miles west of town, was so badly burned on Friday last that she died the next day. The mother having gone out, previously ordering the little girl to put some chips in the stove which she proceeded to do. The fire blazing up caught her dress sleeve, and this alarming her she immediately ran out of the doors, her screams attracting the mother, who hastened to find her child wrapped in flames. By rolling her in the high grass the fire was extinguished, but too late. MRS. WILLIAMS had both hands so severely burned that several fingers will have to be amputated. The funeral sermon of the deceased child will be preached next Sunday at the Baptist Church by Rev. Wm. Sturgeon. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 18, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net 'A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot.' *Perhaps someone could do a lookup in their cemetery books and find her name and where she is buried. Thanks.
