The child that died in a tragic accident last Sunday in Nacogdoches County when a tree fell on her will be remembered in a memorial service in Nacogdoches Friday.

Service for 4-year old Kaitlyn Grace Moorehead will be held at 10 a.m. at North Street Church of Christ, followed by a private family interment at Sunset Memorial Park in Nacogdoches.

A preliminary investigation shows the incident took place around 1 p.m. at a residence on Green Mountain Road, west of Nacogdoches.

Family members were said to be burning around three dead pine trees when the blaze jumped a fire line. A family member went outside to contain the fire, and Kaitlyn followed. During this time, without warning, one of the trees fell and struck the child.

She passed away a short-time later at Nacogdoches Memorial Hosptial.

Memorial donations on Kaitlyn's behalf should be sent to St. Jude's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee.

Donations can also be made via the St. Jude's Website.
