Alva Fire in late Teens/Early 1920s Kills Several Children...

"This is  from an e-mail friend of mine: 'A story has it  that there was a house fire in the Alva area in the  late teens or early 1920s in which several children died.    Their last name was Osburn.  They are buried, so the story goes,  in Whitehorse, Cemetery.  I visited Whitehorse, took pics of the  stones, but  the dates don't match what I've been told. The death dates on the stones  are 1918, 1920, 1924.  Was this story in a local  newspaper?  Wanna help?'
