Walnut Valley Times, January 16, 1903, Volume XXXIII, Number 52
The six year old daughter of Edmond Cooper, a barber, was fatally burned, 
Saturday evening at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. John Michener, five miles 
northeast of El Dorado. The child was playing with her small brother in an 
upstairs room in which was an airtight heater. The flames from the stove were 
driven out at the stove door and caught her dress. She was almost instantly 
entirely enveloped with fire and she inhaled the flames. Her clothing was 
entirely consumed before Mrs. Michener reached her. Her body was horribly 
burned and she died in greatest agony after ten hours of suffering. The funeral 
will occur from the Michener home tomorrow morning at 9:30 o’clock and she was 
buried at Economy.
