Newtownards Chronicle Saturday 13th. January 1912 - Young Newtownards Girl Burned to Death - Mary Anne Croan
Mrs. Clarke's plucky action commended
The dangers arising from the wearing of flannelette was painfully and with fatal consequences, demonstrated in the sad death of a young Newtownards girl whose underclothes accidentaly caught fire at her own fireside on monday night, and who succumbed to the shock of the burns received on tuesday morning. Time and again warnings have been issued to the public regarding the danger of wearing this material when near a fire but all warnings and fatal results from wearing of such has apparently and unfortunately fallen on deaf ears.  The sad case of Mary Ann Croan will be taken to heart by those who wear this cheap article of clothing. The facts of the unfortunate case were brought out at the inquest which was held at the Union Rooms on wednesday morning before Messrs. Edward McCall J.P. and Thomas R. Lavery J.P.
The following jury was sworn in :  David O'Prey {foreman} - Thomas Allen Brett - Edward McCall Jnr. - William John Moore - William McIvor - Thomas Eagleson - Robert Foster - James Corry - William Kerlin - Andrew Johnston - Robert Edgar - James Patterson - James Wallace - James Kerr - Alexander Morrison and John McCullough.
Serjeant McLaughlin conducted the proceedings on behalf of the police and Constables Phair and Tarpey were also present.
James Croan a cabinetmaker of  67 Mark Street deposed that he was the father of the deceased child Mary Ann Croan whose body had been viewed by the jury. She was aged 15 years past. He had last seen her alive on monday morning 8th. January. She was in her usual health. Witness worked in Belfast and next saw her that morning and he identified the body.
Mary Anne Croan of 67 Mark Street deposed that she was the grandmother of the deceased, She and the deceased were in the house by themselves about 8.30 pm that evening. Deceased sat down by the fireside before going to bed. Witness next saw her in flames, she ran to the door and out to the street, witness saw her carried in again. In a very short time Dr. Warnock and Dr. Jamison were in attendance and she was taken by ambulance to the infirmary.
Foreman: "What sort of garments was she wearing, were they likely to catch fire ... ?"
Witness: "She usually took off half her clothes before she sat down. Her chemise was flannelette and she had a flannelette inside bodice"
Foreman: "We may take it that, that was what caught fire"
Mrs. Lizzie Clarke of 18 Mark Street deposed that she resided opposite the house in which deceased lived. It was about 8.30 on the night of the 8th. and she heard the shout of the little girl at the door, witness ran out and took off her own underskirt and placed it over the little girl, when she looked at the girl she then realised it was Mary Ann Croan. All the clothes were burned off her, a man then came up and threw his overcoat over her. A man called McGinn and her grandmother then took her into her own house.
Dr. Robert Bailey deposed that he was Assistant Medical Officer in the workhouse. About 9.30 pm on the 8th. he saw deceased in the infirmary,. she was burned all over her body from top to bottom. She died at 8.00 am on the 9th. as a result of shock due to the burns.
Mr. McCall in asking the jury to consider their verdict said with regard to Mrs. Clarkes action that it was most prompt and deserved to be highly commended. He was sure the jury would take notice of it.  A verdict of accidental death was brought.
