Tragedy in a Marysville Home

Marysville, March 9. John Seafeldt's house was burned, with its contents, last night. The fire is supposed to have originated in the kitchen, from the stovepipe passing through the roof. The family retired at their usual time, about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Seafeldt was awakened about 12 by the fire, and escaped with one of her twin daughters, a child about 3 years old, and returning, aroused her husband and then rescued the other twin daughter. One of their sons, a young man of 17 years, and two daughters, Martha, aged 9 years, and Minnie, aged 7 years, were in the second story of the house. The young man escaped, but the two daughters could not be aroused, and were burned to death, nothing but a little pile of bones being left to mark the place of their cruel death. The father, in trying to save his two beloved children, was badly burned, and is not expected to live. The mother is frantic with grief, but is being kindly cared for by neighbors, who are doing everything possible to relieve the suffering family. There was no insurance on the property.
