From: January 2, 1958 Winn Parish Enterprise News-American 4 Year Old Negro Girl Dies From Burns December 21 Gladys Marie Waldrup, four year old Negro girl, died at a local hospital Saturday, December 21, from burns she received when her clothing caught fire at her home in the Mosley Quarters. The mother of the child, Mildred Waldrup, had gone to a store to shop. The father, Otis Waldrup, had gone to borrow an axe to chop some wood. The small girl and her three younger brothers, one a few weeks old baby, were in the room when the accident occurred. It was presumed the girl's clothing caught fire from the wood heater which had the door removed from it. The screams of the child attracted the father and a neighbor, Girlean Smith, who rushed in and tore the burning clothes off the girl. She was in bed in the hospital where she died a few hours later. Funeral services were conducted December 23 at Campti. Surviving are the parents and the three younger brothers, Bobby Ray, Otis, Jr., and Eddie Ray. --------------4E9060A848EED43212EB4B7B--
