Mrs. Ryal rushed from the burning
house with her infant. which she laid
short distance from the house, and
then ran 10 the rescue OF her other
little ones. She got them all out.

hope OF saving some OF the household
effects. The eldest child followed her.
AS they entered the door. the floor
gaze way and they were precipitated
into the cellar. Mrs Ryal managed to
scramble out but every stitch Of cloth

charred body was found In the cellar
The baby died where the mother had
left it. Neighboring farmers found Mrs
Ryal and one child still alive and car
ried them to the nearest house. where
they succumbed 10 their burns after
terrible suffering.
Whey Ryan returned to find his
whole family wiped out and his home
