Fearful Death of Little Child

Fatally Burned While Playing Round a Fire

FATHER INJURED IN THE RESCUE

A heart-rending fatality took place on Thursday afternoon at the home of Mr. Alamander Wildfong whose residence is in the west ward between the main line and the Galt branch. As a result his bright little two-year-old daughter, that was at two o'clock playing about the yard and laughing and prattling in childish glee, was three hours later a fearfully burnt and disfigured corpse.

The little one was playing about the yard with other little children and one of them set a match to the grass. The flames ran along faster than they knew, and before the little ones were aware of their danger, Florence's clothes were on fire. The child's shrieks for help and her playmates sounding the alarm, brought her father out of the house. He was horrified to see his child enveloped in fire, and tore the flaming clothes off its burning body.

But the help came too late. There was barely an inch of the little one's frame from its feet to the crown of its head that was not burned. One eye was entirety closed; one ear was almost dropping from the head, the mouth was powerless to close. But consciousness remained for over an hour. The babe at times spoke and cried for water, and again it uttered piteous shrieks of pain. It lived only two hours after the accident occurred and toward the last was unconscious. Florence Mable was one of a family of five.

The funeral will take place on Saturday at 2 p.m. to St. Peter's Lutheran church.
