Andres Maldonado
Arizona Silver Belt
April 9, 1896

Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Maldonado's only son, Andres, a birght 
little fellow of four years was fatally burned Tuesday 
morning.  While playing with matches, without the knowledge 
of his mother, his clothing caught fire, and although 
William Sidow, who was nearby hurried to his rescue and 
tore the clothing from him, the boy was terribly burned 
and died nine hours later, after intense suffering.  
The parents are inconsolable in their grief over the death 
of their boy whom they idolized and their many friends and 
acquaintances deeply sympathize with them in their 
bereavement.  The funeral took place yesterday afternoon 
from the famliy residence and was largely attended.
