FORD, MADELINE
(26 Jan 1922, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
GIRL DIES SATURDAY AS RESULT OF BURNS.
Madeline Ford, 9 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Ford, died at
St. Paul Sanitarium as a result of burns received when her clothing caught
fire from the flame of a gas stove at her home Saturday morning.
Madeline and her twin sister a few days ago took part in the play of
"Cinderella" at the Sam Houston school, and she was showing a neighbor
girl how she looked in her costume when her skirt caught fire.
The above was from the Dallas News of Monday.  The little girl was a niece
of Mrs. O. H. Young, of Elk city, and she received word Saturday afternoon
of the tragedy, though she did not know then how it happened.  Her
brother, and father of the little girl is Walter Othella Ford, and is
assistant cashier of the Reserve Bank of Dallas.
H. C. Ford of Granite, a brother of W. O., left for Dallas to attend the
funeral of the little girl.
