Thirteenth Year - Number 40
Marlin, Texas, Thursday, December 4, 1902

MRS. WHITSITT

     Mrs. Whitsitt, aged 80 years and very feeble, was fatally burned at Lorena.  She was sitting by the fire when her clothing caught and before assistance arrived she was burned so badly that her life is despaired of.  She was alone at the time, the family having gone across the street to a neighbor's a few moments.
