The accident happened about 5:30 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. McDermott and son, Alan, 4, had gone to the farm yard to finish the evening chores and left the baby in her buggy in the care of her two little brothers, Earl, age 2 years and 10 months, and Bobby, age 3. Playfully Earl pulled the table cover upsetting the lighted kerosene lamp, which immediately exploded throwing the burning oil over the baby. The two little boys had the presence of mind to run from the burning kitchen and summon their parents. The room was so filled with fire and smoke that it was found necessary to break in the windows. They were unable to reach the telephone but seized the baby and rushed it to the office of Dr. Nederheiser at Cascade, where it died at the above hour. The entire body was was terribly burned. Passing neighbors assisted in putting out the blaze. The kitchen and the furnishings were considerably damaged. Surviving are the parents and three little brothers, Alan, Bobby and Earl; the grandparents, George Dolphin and Mr. and Mrs. F. B. McDermott, all prominent residents of this community.
