Last Sunday evening a little four year old girl of Mr. and Mrs. John Massey, residing southwest of the Sayre Depot, accidently set fire to its clothing and was fatally burned.

When the child discovered that its clothes were on fire, it ran to its mother who was milking a cow, but when it reached her side, its clothes were a mass of flames.

The little one lingered until near 3:00 Monday morning, when death relieved its suffering.

The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near Doxey on Tuesday.

Mr. Massey is an employee of the Choctaw Railroad and was at work in the roundhouse when the horrible accident occurred.
