Young Lady Terribly Burned

Corsicana, Tex., Sept 28 -- News was received here yesterday of the probable
fatal burning of Miss Annie Lee, the 14-year-old daughter of John L. Bonner, 
who formerly lived here, but is now a resident of Freestone County.  Her 
clothing was ignited from a fire in theyeard where she was working and before
aid could reach her she was so terribly burned about the body and limbs that
her recovery is regarded exceedingly doubtful.

Fairfield Recorder newspaper - Oct 22, 1897 edition

"Miss Annie Lee Bonner, daughter of Mr. John L. Bonner, who was severly burned
recently, died last Friday after lingering 21 days after the painful accident
which caused her life.  All that loving hearts and willing hands could do was
done to alleviate her pain and bring about her recovery but to no avail.  She
bore her suffering most patiently and cheerfully and was hopeful of recovery
until within a day or two of the end and even after the family had despaired of
her getting well.  The circumstances of her death are truly sad and have
plunged a household in deepest sorrow.  The sincere sympathy of a host of
friends will go out to the sorrowing parents and family in the loss of a
daughter and sister so dearly loved by all."
