Name not reported

Boys held at the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida, died in a dormitory fire in 1914, according to a 2014 Equal Justice Initiative account. That account puts the number at six. A 2013 Denver Post report, citing the school's earlier name, the Florida State Reform School, says eight boys died and had been locked in a room. The reports differ on the number of deaths and on whether the boys were locked in, and no names are given for the boys.
