uncle's house in rural Allen County have been identified. They are Courtney Jean 
Pearson, 13, of Scottsville, and Laura Jean Pearson, 20, of Logansport, Ind. Both had 
been asleep in an upstairs  bedroom at the house on Trammell Road, which was engulfed 
by flames when volunteer firefighters arrived.  Both died of smoke inhalation.

and attended school there. She would have been an eighth-grader at  James E. Bazzell 
Middle School. Courtney's survivors include her father, James A. Pearson of  Delphi,
