OBITUARY: 
HUNT -- Little Evelyn Hunt, 2 years old, is at the Deaconess hospital in a very serious condition as the result of burns received yesterday when her clothing caught fire while she was playing near a store at the Hunt residence, Auburn, Salem route 6. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hunt who were absent from home at the time of the accident. 
Evelyn had been left in charge of an older sister, Martha, 14. The older sister was absent from the house for a few moments and when she returned the baby’s clothing was on fire. Martha partially quenched the flames with water and was assisted by a neighbor, who summoned medical aid. The child’s injuries are said to have been added to by the effects of the water upon the mass of burns which practically cover the little girl’s body.
