THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 9, 1938

* Katharine Augusta Carl death
* American woman portrait painter
* Empress Dowager Cixi fame

The top of page 8 has a one column heading: "WOMAN PAINTER DIES FROM SCALDS" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of Katharine Carl, American portrait painter. She dies from burns received while taking a bath in her New York City apartment. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
