The Carnesville Herald And Advance January 11, 1934
A negro woman inmate of the paupers home near Carnesville was burned to death 
about 12:30 Thursday morning when fire destroyed one of the cottages. The fire was 
discovered by a party passing by who gave the alarm but by the time help could be 
secured the fire had gained such headway that it was impossible to save the negro 
woman. She had evidently started out the building and fell near the door. The name 
of the negro was not learned.

The building was a wooden frame structure and burned rapidly. The origin of the 
fire is unknown.
