"The Carroll County Times"
Carrollton, Carroll Co., Georgia

NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JANUARY 4, 1884

We learn that Mrs. J.L. Stephens was burned to death at her home in Cleburne 
county, Alaama on Friday last.  She was engaged, it is said, in burning trash 
and leaves around the yard when her clothing caught fire and burned her 
fatally.  The unfortunate lady was a daughter of Mr. Alston Bailey of Coweta 
and a sister of Mrs. J.G. Davenport of this county.  She left two small 
children. Her husband, in trying to save her, got both hands badly burned, the 
left one terribly.
