From Salt Lake Telegram (Salt Lake City, UT) - Tuesday, September 15, 1936:
Elaine Winegar of Woods Cross was dead Tuesday because hse wanted just one more piece of her birthday cake . . . and waint a lighted candle on it.
September 4 was Elaine's seventh birthday and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Winegar gave her a family party. There were seven candles on a cake and Elaine blew them out. After dinner the parents went to visit neighbors and the children, the oldest 13, were alone. Soon Eliane decided she wanted more cake and chose a piece with a candle on it. She tried to light the candle but the flame caught her flimsy party dress. Elaine became a torch as she ran screaming from room to room. By the time her brothers and sisters had called the parents Elaine was so badly burned she could not even be moved to a hospital. She lay and suffered until Monday when death came.
Elaine was born in Woods Cross September 4, 1929. Surviving, besides her parents, are two sisters, Colleen and Zeda Winegar, and three brothers, M. John, Dean, and Clinton Winegar.
Funeral services will be conducted Thursday in the South Bountiful LDS ward chapel. Burial will be in Bountiful cemetery.
