Mother and Babe Burned To Death

Barnesville, Nov. 18 –

Mrs. Claud Butler and her baby were burned to death last night at their home a
few miles from Barnesville.

Mrs. Butler, who was subject to spells of fainting, got up during the night to
wait on the baby.  Mr. Butler, who is almost deaf, states that he knew when his
wife got up he went immediately back to sleep.  When he awoke this morning he
found his wife dead, where she had fallen in the fire, her face and head
fearfully burned.  The baby was still alive, but was so badly burned that it
died during the day.

The tragedy is a horrible one and the people of the community are greatly
saddened over it. Mr. Butler and his wife are widely connected and belong to the
best families of the section.
