Obituary for Minnie Jane Sizer

SIZER --Minnie Sizer, 17 year old daughter of E. L. Sizer, was terribly burned at noon yesterday and died at their Olathe home last night. She was trying to light a fire with kerosene from a 5-gallon can and it caught fire. She was a deaf-mute. She ran upstairs with her clothing ablaze and her parents and brother were severely burned in putting out the fire.
