Fatal Accident: On Monday evening an accident occurred in the house of a man named Horace R. Burlison in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], in this village, that caused the death of his daughter Ellen Jane [Burlison} aged about eight years. The facts are as follows: The family were gathered around a table watching one of their number pour a quantity of Kerosene Oil from one vessel into another. The little girl was holding a small hand lamp for the purpose of lighting the work. Suddenly the gas from Kerosene took fire from the small lamp, and four of the persons standing around the table were enveloped in flames, the fire being communicated at once to the oil. The little girl was terribly burned about the head and shoulders. On taking fire she ran out of doors and it was several minutes before she could be caught and her clothes stripped off. She presented an agonizing sight. It was found that the fire had spread over nearly the whole of her body, and the flesh dropped form her arms if she was stirred. The little sufferer lingered until about eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, when death relieved her from pain. The three other persons burned will recover. Susan Burlison was badly burned about the head, her face being a complete bristle. Mrs. Martha Cobb had one hand burned. Mrs. Burlison, had both hands badly burned. The accident was one that might happen in any household and should be a warning to all to use care in handling kerosene oil. Chenango Telegraph
