    3. Terre Haute (IN) Daily Gazette, July 6, 1872. Seymour, Ind., July 5-Last night, while the Germans were preparing for a private theatrical entertainment, a gasoline lamp was upset upon the stage and three girls from ten to fourteen years old, were burned so badly that they all died during the night. One of the girls was a daughter of Christ Klippel, a grocer; the other two of Mrs. Henser and Mrs. Laufrus, both widow ladies of this place. Several other young girls were slightly burned, and one man, Mr. Frederick, very severely.
