Norfolk Landmark May 24, 1884
                        SAD ACCIDENT.
Thursday night, Lillian, the little daughter of Mr. George Hildreth, of Mayfield, 
met with an accident, from which death ensued yesterday morning after great 
suffering. It seems the little one, in attempting to get into a chair, slipped 
and, pulling with her the tablecloth, overturned a kerosene lamp, which broke into 
flames. Her father, in endeavoring to rescue her or put out the fire, was 
seriously burned and is confined to his bed from injuries sustained. The funeral 
of the child will take place from the residence of the parents this afternoon at 5 
o'clock, at which time and place the friends and acquaintances of the family are 
invited to attend.
