Byron Items--Sad Death of a Young Bride
Three weeks ago, April 27th, while Mrs. Mary DOWELL, a young married lady,
sixteen years old and but two months a bride, was helping her mother make soap,
her clothes took fire and were burned entirely off from her.  Her father, Mr.
WILCOX, in trying to save his daughter burned his hands and wrists fearfully. 
It was not thought, at the time, that Mrs. DOWELL could live more than a day or
two, but she lived till Saturday last, dying happy at 11 o'clock a.m.  She was
remarkably patient through her sufferings for they were fearful.  Yesterday the
funeral was held at the Lovejoy school house, Elder SAWYER officiating.  Her
parents and husband have the sympathies of all.  At the time of the accident to
the deceased a load of household goods was standing at her father's door ready
to be taken to her new home that was to be.  Such is life.  We know not what a
day may bring forth.
