While the mother was in the garden a short distance from the house, the second daughter aged five years, tried to start the kitchen fire and in so doing her dress, which was wool, caught fire. Her older sister threw a bucket of water over her, but this did not extinguish the flames, and before the mother could help her, the child was so badly burned that when her dress was removed, the flesh dropped off. Doctors did what they could, but their patient died about three o'clock the same day. Funeral services were held in the Catholic church Sunday and the remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery. _____ Columbus Telegram, August 26, 1897, p. 8, col. 4 Sad Death of a Child. The little 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Schram met with a sad and painful death last Saturday morning. The Schram residence is in the country about three miles east of the city. Only a 15-year-old daughter and the little victim were in the house at the time, the mother being absent a short distance from the house. The elder daughter was engaged in some household duty in one part of the house, while the unfortunate child, in order to be useful, tried to build the kitchen fire. The child had just recovered from illness and wore a heavy woolen dress. In trying to start the fire this dress took fire, and burned very rapidly. As soon as the elder girl heard screams she ran and threw water on the little one. The mother also heard the cries, and ran towards her child, but fainted before she reached her. When she recovered the little one was so badly burned that when the clothing was removed the flesh fell off also. Physicians were immediately sent for, and did all they could, but couldn't save the child's life, and it died in the afternoon after intense suffering. The funeral took place on Sunday.
