Four-State Toll Fire Deaths Reach Nineteen In Holidays
Nineteen children died in fires across four states on Saturday less than a week before Christmas. Two adults were killed and a Dallas department store heavily damaged. An eclipse of the moon helped save three children as a Detroit suburb family mourned the loss of six of Hilbert Turner Cox's nine children. The Cox home fire trapped others as windows froze shut and heat prevented escape while a nursing home fire the prior day claimed twenty lives in Fountaintown Indiana.
