Her husband died many years before Amanda, who seldom went from her home after his death. Early 20 February 1896 about four o'clock in the morning, smoke was seen issuing from the windows of her home. Neighbours broke in and smothered the fire with snow. They found Amanda dead upon the floor, and most horribly burned. Near her where she was found were a lamp, a can of kerosene and some kindling, as if she had attempted to build a fire.
