Two Children Burned To Death In Albert County
Elgin, April 28,- Yesterday about four o’clock in the afternoon the home of Elias Douthrite ,of Golden Mountain, Elgin was burned and his two children burned to death. It appears that Douthrite was in the woods making sugar. Mrs. Douthrite shut or locked the house and left some time in the afternoon to visit at a neighbors. She had only been gone about a half an hour when Aaron Douthrite, a brother, living a quarter of a mile distant discovered the house to be on fire. He hastened to the house, broke in and got the children out but they were so badly burned that they died in a short time. They were aged two and four years respectively. The eldest had its legs and arms burned off and head and arms of the youngest were burnt to a crisp. The origin of the fire is unknown: the house was totally destroyed
