- June 8 1904, Chase County (Kansas) Leader News. Burned to Death, Eugenia, the seven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Crouthers, who lived in the southwest part of town, was burned so badly about the face, arms and breast, Monday morning that she died from the effects Wednesday. Little Eugenia did not get up until late and when she did get up she found that her mother had gone to a neighbors for a few minutes. She thought she would fry herself some eggs for breakfast and in order to start the fire blazing, stuck a piece of greasy paper off a ham into the front of the stove. The blaze came out and caught the little girl's clothes burning her breast, arms and face to a blister. Dr. Kendall was summoned and relieved the burns, which seemed to be healing, but the shock and burns together were too much for the little girl and Wednesday morning the angel of death relieved her from her suffering.
