House Fire Kills Infant

 

OWENS CROSS ROADS -- A nine month old girl was burned to death when fire destroyed the home of her parents in the Cave Springs Community early this morning.

 

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bud STEWART was in the front room of the house when the fire wiped out the building.  It was the same room in which stood a coal heater apparently started the fire.

 

Mrs. Stewart was said to be in serious condition after being treated by a doctor.  Her husband and their other child, a three-year-old boy, were also treated but were not thought to be as seriously injured.

 

The Owens Cross Roads and New Hope Fire Departments answered the call to the fire, but the house had already collapsed when they arrived.
