A Sad Occurrence

One of the saddest accidents that ever occurred in our community took place at 
Butler Male and Female College about 8 o’clock on Tuesday morning last.  Prof. 
Ezell had called his children together, and the weather being cool, a warm fire 
had been built in the room of Prof. Stewart, where most of the small children 
were engaged in reciting their lessons.  Minnie Lee Kimbrough, a sweet and 
pretty little girl while standing in front of the fire, her clothing was 
discovered to be in flames.  Every effort possible was made by Prof. Stewart 
and others to extinguish the flames but could not until the child was severely 
burned.  She was carried to her home where she lingered until 5 o’clock 
Wednesday afternoon and died from the effects of her burns.  Her mother being 
absent in Macon everything that could possibly be made by kind friends and 
physicians were administered for her relief but to no avail.  Her remains were 
interred in the cemetery at Butler Thursday with impressive ceremonies.  The 
parents and grandparents have the sympathy of our entire community in their sad 
bereavement.  She was ten years and seven months old, of a sweet and 
affectionate disposition and loved by all who knew her.
