Our Mountain Home October 14, 1908
Ashland Oct 11, Lula, the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bun Thompson was 
seriously burned this morning about eight o'clock. Mr. Thompson, who was 
doctoring a sick horse, told his little daughter to start a fire and warm him 
some water She did so, and as she turned away from the fire her skirt caught. She 
tried to extinguish the flame with her hands and failing to do so, became 
frightened and ran. Mr. Allen White and Mr. Bryant saw her when she left the 
house and ran to her assistance. Mr. White reached her first and succeeded in 
tearing the burning clothes from the child before she was fatally burned. Mrs. 
Thompson is visiting her brother in Birmingham and has been telegraphed to return 
at once.
