This obit found on microfilm of a Jan 1895 "Harrodsburg Sayings" newspaper, Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., KY of a child that died in Eaton, Delaware Co, IN:

Muncie, IN, Jan 10th, 1895: 3 year old child of Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Hartle met a horrible death at the home of the parents in Eaton, a small place 10 miles north of Muncie. The little girl was standing near a stove which was redhot, the gas being turned too high. Her clothes caught fire, and burned from her body. The mother and father attempted to extinguish the flames but were unsuccessful. She suffered terribly for 3 hours, when she died.
