The Altoona Tribune. (Altoona, Pa.), November 15, 1860 November 15, 1860
George McDonough, son of Mr. Strickler, of Mulberry street, Hollidaysburg, aged
three years, was so burned on Sunday morning last as to cause his death. He was
playing with the fire in the stove by lighting pieces of paper, while his mother was
up stairs. His little sister had taken the paper from him and put it away, but he
got it again, when his clothes took fire, and before his mother could relieve him he
was all in a crisp. Dr. Happersett was called and dressed the wound. He survived
only seven hours.
