A family holiday gathering of 13 persons Sunday night turned into a night of horror as four of them perished in a fire that destroyed a farm home five miles southeast of Iowa City.

Mrs. Aicher’s husband, Harry, 43, suffered deep burns on the hands and face. He is in fair condition today. Another daughter, Mrs. Terri Lynn Dolphin of South Dubuque Street, suffered facial burns and was treated at Mercy hospital.

Surviving members of the family said that the fire started avout 7:45 p.m. in a Christmas tree in the living room, then spread to drapes behind the tree almost immediately. It was a matter of just a second or two, said Cindy’s grandmother. Mrs. Aicher and the girls were trapped in a northwest bedroom that ajoins the living room of the brick frame home.

Their bodies, burned beyon recognition, were found by t firemen between midnight and 12:30 a.m. today after the fire was brought under control. The children’s bodies were huddled below a window sill next to a bed and Mrs. Aicher’s body was at the foot of the bed. Firemen said it appeared as though all died of suffocation soon after the fire began.
