On Sunday, the third child of the Henry family died as the result of injuries suffered in a mobile home fire on July 6 in Reynolds Station.

Seven-year-old Ireland Henry, who was airlifted from the scene of the fire to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, joins her two-year-old sister Ivy Henry and four-year-old brother, John-Ross Henry, in succumbing to her injuries. The children’s mother, Christin Henry, said in a social media post over the weekend that Ireland developed a potentially deadly infection. It’s unclear if that infection is what took the little girl’s life.

The children’s father, John Ireland, was not seriously injured in the blaze.

According to Ohio County Sheriff Tracy Beatty, firefighters from multiple fire departments, including the Fordsville, Dundee and Whitesville FDs, responded to 3850 Hwy 54 to battle the fire.
