I remember momma left Minnie and I to play in the yard. She told us not to go into the house. She went out a little ways from the house to pick up pecans. Se could probably hear us if we called her, when little Minnie caught on fire. I guess we were to scared to call because she told us not to go in the house. I tried putting her out but all her hair and clothes burnt off then we walked out to where momma was.
Minnie Mae died from complications of severe burns.
Siblings:
Irene Powell (1917-1918)
Audrey Powell Oliphant (1919-2009)
James Dudley Powell (1923-1986)
George Lee Powell (1927-1998)
