Short story:
A three-year-old girl named Kathy Fiscus falls into an abandoned well and, despite rescue attempts, dies of suffocation in San Marino, California, USA. Within ten days Jimmie Osborne will be inspired to write and recorded the song The Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus in the style of the classic 'event ballads' of the 1920's. It was Osborne's 5th single release and within eight months it sold over a million copies.
