Obit (cont'd) "Before she reached him every stitch had burned off and he was frightfully injured. Medical aid failed to give relief and within an hour he died. It is supposed he had secured a match from the house and with other children had started a grass fire. Mr. Allen is section yard master for the Rock Island. The remains of the little one will be taken to Grinnell tomorrow."
