Holland of the Spring Valley district in northeastern Polk county, was burned to death Saturday afternoon in a barn which started when matches with which the girl and her sister had been playing ignited oil in the rear seat of an automobile. When flames flared up from the car, one of the girls hurried to the farm home and gave the alarm. By the time Mr Holland had reached the barn, flames had enveloped the haymow and his daughter had been cremated. Buildings and farm implements were destroyed.
