The report published yesterday of the accidental killing of a little child on the section line road Thursday has been confirmed and the particulars obtained.
The accident happened south of Mount Tabor and near the Gilbert place, and resulted in the shocking death of a little 6-year-old girl of John Lindberg. Some men were engaged in burning brush and old timber, and the little girl was crossing the patch of ground where they were at work. As she went by, a high stump that was burning around the roots fell on her, striking on the side of her head, crushing the skull and breaking her arm. She was quickly picked up and carried into the house, but it was soon ascertained that her injuries were of too serious a nature for her to recover, and after lingering in a comatose state during the day her little spirit took its flight from its bruised tenement Thursday afternoon. The funeral services took place yesterday at 11 A.M. from the Baptist church at Mt. Tabor, and the remains were consigned to their last resting place in Lone Fir cemetery.
