Her invalid sister, who was near, made an effort to extinguish the fire, but before she could do so, the little girl ran to her mother, who was in the yard, and before the flames could be extinguished she was distressingly burned. A physician was immediately called and all necessary applications resorted to, but availed nothing. She survived 12 to 15 hours in the most excruciating agonies. She was a sweet little girl—would do her full task in the Factory from six in the morning till six in the evening and then assist her mother with her duty at home. Her sweet smiles will be long remembered in the neighborhood. When she was placed in her coffin, each of her little mates in the Factory, dropped a sprig of cedar in before being closed, as a token of remembrance of little Lizzie. A most affecting scene occurred—the corpse as natural as life, her cheeks as red and sweet as the fresh rosebud. Now freed from all earthly ills she lies— In realms of purest light— Beneath a Savior’s genial smile, She shines, and Angel bright. Married, on the 11th inst., in Sampson Co., N.C.. by Rev. L.
