eating sugar from an envelope while she went to the stables to milk, and upon her return
found the child standing upon the same chair all in flames, and was so suffocated it was
unable to utter a cry. The flames were soon
extinguished but death soon followed. The
prints of its little hands where it clutched the chair back are to this day plainly
visible. There were other small children in
the room at the time but they were too young to give account of how the fire originated
but it is supposed that the child opened the stove door to burn the envelope which
contained the sugar and thereby its sleeve was set on fire when it immediately climbed
back into the chair where its mother had placed it. November
