The Montgomery Advertiser September 11, 1883
Roanoke News:
Daniel Wright alias Daniel Thomason alias Uncle Dan, an old colored man who 
lived one mile west of our town, on Saturday evening fast had the misfortune to 
have bis house and all he possessed, with an old invalid sister, consumed by 
fire under the following circumstances: Uncle Dan's sister was sent to him a few 
days ago for him to take care of, and she was on bed or pallet before the fire 
place. Dan and his wife went to the fodder field late Saturday evening to take 
up fodder, leaving his old sister in the house, and the supposition is that she 
crawled to the fireplace and got fire to light her pipe and then crawled back to 
her bed or pallet and set it on fire with her pipe. Dan's house and consents, 
including his invalid sister were burned up, leaving Dan and his wife without 
anything except the meagre clothing they had on at the time.
