SIMPSON, IRENE - Age 7 years, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. W. J. Simpson of Lone
Oak, who was fatally burned while playing in front of an open fire in the
Simpson's home late Friday, died Saturday night. Services were held at Lone
Oak, conducted by Rev. Harold, with burial following there. The little girl,
who, with her twin sister, was playing "grown up," had donned a dress of her
mother's and came too near the fireplace. The dress was ignited and within a
few seconds she was enveloped in flames. Although badly burned about the body
and lower limbs, she was taken to Greenville for medical attention, but died
shortly before midnight Saturday. (Cumby Rustler, Fri., May 4, 1928)
