Obituary for CATHERINE_ MCCARTHY:

Dakota County Tribune

 

Father Edward McCarthy had been burning the stalks and rubbish from a piece of ground near his house preparatory to plowing.  When the fire was all out, as he supposed, he left it.  Two of his children, the youngest being Katie, were playing about the place and discovered a few smoldering embers.  They began playing with them tossing them about and putting grass on them to see it burn.  In some way the girl's clothes caught fire.  The brother ran screaming to the house and the parents ran to the spot only to find the little girl's clothes nearly all burned off her.  She was taken to the house and Doctor Eustis telegraphed for.  She died a few minutes after the Doctor arrived.
