Citation details: Sydney Gazette Sat 21 Sep 1811 p. 2 Text: The following melancholy accident by fire took place at the farm of Mrs. Wilkes, at Pendant [sic] Hills, near Parramatta, about three weeks wince - A fine boy, aged 3 years, being left alone in the house while his mother, Mrs. Wilkes, was engaged in the yard, the child is supposed to have drawn some burning wood off the hearth, by means of which the house took fire, and was so rapidly consumed as to render ineffectual every effort to save the life of the little unfortunate creature who had been the innocent cause of the catastrophe that doomed it to an untimely dreadful destiny. An infant but a few months old, lying asleep in a cradle at the time, was rescued from the devouring element by the Divine Permission, uninjured; but a man was so severely burnt in endeavouring to save the other, that he was obliged to be taken to the General Hospital at Parramatta, where he has received every comfort and attention that humanity could suggest, or his condition stood in need of. To the unspeakable affliction of the unhappy mother the horrors of excessive penury were joined by the loss of her cloathing and that of her surviving children, which with every little article of property she possessed perished in the conflagration.
