We learn of a sad accident which befell one of the children in a family by
the name of WEBB, near Newbern one day last week. The older members of the
family were all out to attend to the milking and feeding of the stock, when
the clothes of the little one (only seven or eight months old), caught fire
and it was so badly burned that it will probably die.

I'm wondering who this child was, and whether it died of the injuries it received. I have nothing further about it. Nancee
