Elkader Register, Fri., 13 Mar. 1896. Strawberry Point column.

The three year old child of Robert Gratke, who lives two miles west of town was burned to death last Saturday. Their two children had been left alone in the house, and when Mrs. Gratke came in, the clothing was all burned from the child and its flesh was so badly burned that it lived but about four hours. It is supposed the child's clothing caught fire by trying to put wood in the stove. Funeral was held Sunday. The parents have the sympathy of all in this their sad affliction.
