Hartford Circus Fire questions?

Did you ever get additional information on this? I recently read a book entitled, "The Circus Fire" by Stewart O'Nan. Many of the victims are mentioned, there is no Miles or Walters mentioned. But it does mention a 22 year old woman who was taken to Municipal Hospital with burns and broken ankles, she had taken her niece to the circus as a birthday present. The niece was at Municipal in grave condition, as well.
Later, in the book it says that this same 22 year old woman died during surgery. There has been documentaries from the History Channel and Connecticut Public Television on the fire. There are a few other books out there as well.
