GREENWOOD GLEANER (Greenwood, Wis.) 04/10/1913 Bokovic, Louise
(1905 - 6 Apr 1913) The little
seven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bokovic of Willard,
Clark County, Wis., died early Sunday morning from the effects of a
severe burning about the face and throat on Saturday afternoon. He parents reside
near the middle mound, northwest of Willard. Mr. Bokovic was
engaged in burning brush a short distance from the home and was
accompanied by his little daughter, Louise. A spark flying
from the burning brush caught in the child’s clothing near
her breast. Before her cries for help could be answered, the flames
had flashed about her face and were inhaled into her throat, which
later caused her death. Dr. Boeckmann was
called but could do nothing to prolong the life of one whose death
came so sadly and painfully. Services were held
at Willard on Monday and interment made temporarily until a
cemetery can be acquired.
