She had gotten close enough, however, that a portion of her hair was singed. “Bud” Dunlap. 5, another son, who was playing in the street in front of the house when the fire broke out) told his mother afterwards that he had been in the house and that his brother and sister were playing with fire about the stove. He ran on out to play again, he said, and soon the fire broke out. The building was a two-room frame structure and its unfinished and unplastered walls quickly caught fire. Russell Foughty, of Garrett, who noticed the fire from the Decatur road, said that it looked as though the building exploded as the walls of the house burst into flames. Foughty arrived just after Rawers had pulled baby June from the building. Apparently the four children rushed to the bed aft -r the house caught , on fire as the bodies were all found in that part of the house.
