  Daniel F. Johnson : Volume 66 Number 2235 Date May 15 1886 County Northumberland Place Chatham Newspaper The World The following particulars are given of a fatal occurrence at Glassville (Carleton Co.) a few days ago. Shortly after noon Friday 30th ult., Helen MacKENZIE d/o Murdock MacKENZIE, East Glassville, went to fire some piles in a fallow. Shortly after the piles were fairly underway, the fire began to spread rapidly over the old grass in the adjacent hayfield. The anxious girl immediately ran to the spot and endeavoured to tramp out the flames. Unfortunately they caught the skirt of her dress and in a momemt she was wrapped in a mantle of fire. Her father and his hired help Duncan McDIARMID beheld from a short distance the perilous condition of the unfortunate child and rushed to the rescue. Mr. McDiarmid seized the burning girl and sustained severe injuries in endeavoring to extinguish the flames. She was speedily moved to the house and every known remedy in the meantime resorted to. She lingered on for 17 hours of intense agony and then passed away. The deceased was 16 years of age.
