The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, April 7, 1877
A child of Mr. Geo. PRESSGROVE was badly burned last Monday morning. The family
happened to all be out of the room for a few minutes when the child was heard to
scream, and was caught as it was in the act of crawling under the bed, with its
clothes on fire. An almanac was found with with the child had been playing,
partly burned, and it is supposed that it had got fire from the stove in this
way and communicated it to its clothes. It will probably live but it is
disfigured for life.
Later--Mr. Pressgrove's child died at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning.(Perry.)
