OSSA DOYLE
March 19, 1897

The Tucson Citizen of yesterday reports a most distressing event 
that happened Wednesday at the residence of Deputy Sheriff Doyle 
resulting in the death of his little daughter Ossa.  The child was 
but 3 years old and while playing with an older brother secured 
several matches which becoming ignited set fire to her clothes. 
At the time of the event the children were playing in a toilet 
closet and the door accidentally shut and they could not be reached 
until the door was broken open.  Mr. Doyle had gone to the country 
to serve a summons and Mrs. Doyle accompanied him.  Dr. Purcell was 
called but offered little hope.  Mr. and Mrs. Doyle have the sincere 
sympathy of their numerous friends.
