LITTLE WILLOW CREEK

A very sad accident occurred last Saturday evening at the Windle home. Mrs. Windle and her little seven year old daughter were at home alone. The child was getting coal oil for her mother. She spilled the oil and attempted to burn it up. The oil can being near exploded, burning the house and caught the child’s clothing, burning her badly and causing her death a few hours later. The doctors were called but could do no good. Mr. Windle was working in the valley and came home as quickly as possible and arrived but a short while before the child’s death.

CARD OF THANKS

We desire very much to thank those kind friends who came to our relief so readily in the sad death of our little daughter and by their sympathy and timely aid sought to alleviate our suffering. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Windle.
