Green Bay Advocate
Thursday, 20 February 1879

         The house of FELIX PETERS, in Carlton, was burned
       on the 7th, and with it a daughter, 6 years old. The
       father and mother were absent, the former in the woods,
       chopping, the latter in town with a load of ties. The
       fire was well under way when discovered by a neighbor,
       who succeeded in removing some of the furniture, being
       unaware that the child was in the house. The father
       soon arrived, and after groping through the smoke and
       heat, finally found the little one under a bed that
       the fire had not reached - her clothing burned off,
       and she dead. It was evident that after her clothing
       had caught fire she had, in her dying agony, crawled
       under the bed.
