From Story County Watchman December 15, 1893

The little 5-year-old daughter of Wm. Rice, of Gilbert, in some way set fire to her clothing Saturday, and was so horribly burned before the cruel flames could be extinguished that she died Sunday evening. The mother was terribly burned in her efforts to save her daughter.
