Augusta Chronicle:
LITTLE GIRL IS BURNED TO DEATH
"DINKY" BROWN FORMER DAWSON CHILD,
VICTIM OF FATAL ACCIDENT IN AUSGUSTA.
Friends of Mr. and Mrs. A.R. Brown, former well known citizens of Dawson, will be shocked and grieved to learn of the tragic death of their little daughter, Frances, better known in this city by her nickname "Dinky".
The entire Woodlawn section of the city was shocked by the tragic death of little Frances, the 8 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.R. Brown, which occurred at the family residence, 1462 Walton Way, 1:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The child was standing before a open grate when suddenly her clothing became ignited and soon her body was wrapped in flames. In an effort to extinguish the fire the hands of the brave mother were terribly injured - two of the fingers being burned to the bone. Immediately after the accident the little girl was rushed to the University hospital, where medical aid was given, but the burns were so severe she died after six hours of terrible suffering.
Dinky was remarkably bright and interesting. During her residence she was a favorite not only with her little playmates but many of the older people was attracted by her winsome personality.
In a private letter to Mrs. Dan Flinn little Marguerite Brown gives a touching description of the beautiful funeral service and outpouring of the people of the Woodlawn section of the city, each bringing flowers and literally covering the little grave and all the space surrounding the blossoms.
