AMITY, Ore. (AP) – A Yamhill County woman and her 8-year-old daughter died when a motor home caught fire.
 
The Yamhill Valley News-Register reports the fire began early Tuesday and engulfed the home south of Amity.
 
Capt. Chris Ray of the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office identified the mother as 37-year-old Honey Cosgrove and the girl as Nevaeh Applegate. The girl attended Amity Elementary School and was about to turn 9.
