DAUGHTER OF THEODULE DAIGLE BURNED
Crowley Signal, February 6, 1904
Miss Daigle, the daughter of Theodule Daigle, a well known farmer whose
place is located in Prairie Hayes was seriously burned Sunday, receiving
injuries that resulted nearly fatally.
The unfortunate young woman’s health was impaired to some extent in her
childhood, making her somewhat irresponsible. Sunday she was standing in a
room in which there was a fire and it is thought that her skirts came into
contact with the flames. Her cries of anguish attracted other members of the
family, who found her writhing in her burning clothing. The flames were
promptly extinguished, and the physician who was hastily summoned did
what he could to alleviate her intense suffering. It is hoped the deplorable
accident will not terminate fatally.
