The Springdale News from The Fayetteville Daily
Springdale, AR
January 12, 1900
Mr. Robert Crawford of Rhea's Mill, familiarly known as "Uncle Bob" one of the oldest residents of Washington County, having come here when the state was a territory, fell into the fire on Christmas Day and was so badly burned that he died from his injuries the Saturday following the accident. The old man got up in a chair to wind a clock and losing his balance fell into the fire place and remained in the fire until a child gave the alarm to a man in the yard who ran in and pulled him out. He was 84 years old and was very highly respected.
