BARNARDO GIRL BURNED
USED KEROSENE ON FIRE

Chatham, Ont., Aug. 1.--Queenie Anscombe, thirteen years of age, and a former inmate of the Barnardo Home, Toronto, perished in the flames which totally destroyed the farm dwelling of Orval Harwood, eighth concession, Raleigh Township, this morning. The fire started from an explosion which followed the little girl's attempt to light a wood fire in the kitchen with the use of kerosene.

On August 10, 1923, at Raleigh, Kent, Ontario, Canada, Queenie Anscombe, 13, student as school was "urned to death, I believe, by pouring kerosene on a lighted fire. Explosion & house burned", in the words of the coroner, T. L. McRitchie. She was buried in Chatham, Kent, Ontario, Canada.
