Name not reported

Six boys died in a dormitory fire at the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida, in 1914, according to a 2014 Equal Justice Initiative account. A 2013 Denver Post report gives the number as eight, saying they had been locked in a room at the Florida State Reform School, which was the same institution under its earlier name. The accounts also differ on the number of deaths, and the fire's cause is not given in either source.
