Felix O'Neal. She was practi-
cally baked alive and did not live
but a short while after she was

From what can be learned it
seems that the mother went to
the second story of the home,
leaving little Mary and several
other children in the room. Soon
after she reached the second
floor the cries and screams of
distress of the little ones called
her back to the first floor. There
she found that her little daugh-
ter was on fire. her dress evident
ly having ignited in the back.
The mother risked her own life |
and did all she could to stop the
flames and to give help until the
arrival Of a physician. but the
child was 50 badly burned that
nothing could be done to save
its life.
Saturday afternoon the funer-
al and burial took place. Several
Of the relatives and friends in
in this city were notified of the
death and went out toattend the
funeral.
