Obituary: Four year old daughter of Frank Smith was in the kitchen near the stove getting warm . The stove was one of the sheet iron pattern and was red hot at the time. The child fell from her chair onto the red-hot stove. her nightgown immediately took fire and in a second she was enveloped in a sheet of flames. The little girl had been so terribly burned that she expired.
