Caroline Hanson, a young lady 17 years of age, and daughter of Ole Hanson, who lives on Sec. 8, town 183, range 29, near Gull River, met with a horrible death yesterday morning. Her father and brothers were out in the fields working, and she was left alone at the house. She was clearing up the yard and set fire to some rubbish which spread rapidly and soon threatened a stack of hay close by. She began to fight the flames when her dress caught fire, and being alone she was unable to extinguish them. Her clothes were entirely burned from her body except her shoes, and she fell to the ground unable to arise. W. W. Jones in riding past saw the smoke and went to assist in putting out the fire. He found her lying on the ground where she had fallen. He picked her up and carried her into the house and summoned her father and brothers, who came to town and procured the assistance of Dr. Thabes but she died three hours after the accident in the greatest agony before the doctor arrived.
The funeral will occur at Gull River today. (Brainerd Dispatch, 20 April 1900, p. 1, c. 5)
