Grant Kitzmiller, aged 4 years, 3 months and 13 days, was burned to death in a small stable. He went into the stable to play with some pups which was a usual pastime for him. When the fire was discovered the stable was in full flame. The alarm was raised but nothing could be done to stay the flames until the body was burned and charred beyond recognition. It is supposed the hay was ignited by a match. The funeral services were preached by Rev. L. C. Messick, and the interment was on Atlantic Hill in the burying ground on Frank Junkin's.
