ALDRICH, Grace Elsie, Obituary

Grace Elsie Aldrich, the six-years-old daughter of Mr and Mrs William Aldrich of 8 Baxter avenue, who was so badly burned Saturday morning, died at her home late last evening. Her death was due to the burns she received, which proved more serious than at first anticipated. The girl was playing at the rear of her house Saturday morning, when with some other children, she started a fire in the grass, from which her clothing caught fire. Medical aid was called at once and it was not thought her burns would prove fatal. The body will be buried in Belchertown, the former home of the family.
