Note From Bonnie Brown:  Carrie died from being burned.  She was trying
to start a fire and grabbed the gasoline can instead of the kerosene
can.  She died from inhaling the fumes and fire from the explosion.
Horace had just returned from the hospital after having surgery and
managed to save the baby and drag Carrie outside.  Carrie later died
from injuries suffered in this fire.
