About 6.30 Friday night a most deplorable accident occurred at Falls View in the family of Mr. and Mrs. G. Brooks, who have just moved to the Crotty homestead from Wilson, N.Y. Their little daughter, Bessie aged ten years, was horribly burned from head to foot by her clothing catching on fire, her body being one mass of burns and blisters, the clothing falling from the poor child’s body along with pieces of charred flesh. It seems that the child was playing near the stove downstairs with a younger brother, while the rest of the family were upstairs. The first intimation of the terrible occurrence was from the screams of the child, who came rushing upstairs enveloped in flames. An elder brother realized the awful danger of the child and seizing a light mattress threw it around her and also dashed water on the cruel flames, eventually extinguishing the blazing clothing, but not before the grim truth was too evident to the panic-stricken and agonized family that a pitiful tragedy had been enacted before their eyes.
Dr. Kellem’s hurried arrival and examination of the terrible nature of the poor child’s injuries confirmed the worst fears that the child could not live, and notwithstanding his skilful treatment brought temporary relief, the child lingered in agony until about 10.30 o’clock Saturday morning when death ended her sufferings.
The exact details leading up to the heartrending affair cannot be learned, as no one was near the children at the time the little girl’s clothing caught fire.
