Dies from Burns.
Last Saturday while Mrs. Ole Strand, living near Nordness, was making a brief call at a neighbor’s, her child was left at home in the summer kitchen. In some manner, presumably from the stove, its clothing was ignited and when she returned the little one was found with its clothing completely burned off and the flesh seared. Dr. Hoeg was called but the child was burned beyond human aid and died in two hours.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows this was Clara who is buried in Washington Prairie Lutheran Cemetery and was born July 20, 1899 and died July 7, 1900.
