To Nancy Wickam and the Fly-Forum,
In checking out Nancy's inquiry, I was reminded that the probable reason that Mamie Sutton, granddaughter, was with the John Lowe Fly Family in the 1900 Census was that John Lowe's daughter, Sue Mae (Fly) Sutton, burned to death in a tragic accident involving cleaning lamps, or A lamp. Her nightgown caught fire and she burned to death. The inference is a broken lamp, spilled oil, uncontrollable flames surrounding her, or actually flaming oil on her body.A real tragedy.
