Powell mother, daughter among victims in deadly Wisconsin house fire

A mother and daughter from Powell were among six people who died earlier this week in a Wisconsin house fire.

The fire occurred around 2:35 a.m. Sunday at a home in Necedah, a village located northwest of Madison.

Six people died in the fire, including Charis Kuehl, 38, and her 5-year-old daughter, Stella. Four other family members also died in the fire, including Kuehl's sister and father.

Kuehl and her husband, Stephen, had been visiting with Kuehl's extended family, according to a GoFundMe set up to benefit the family.

Stephen and the couple's other two children escaped the fire.

The family had recently bought a home in Minnesota, where Stephen Kuehl had accepted a job to teach at a local high school. The family remains in the process of moving from Powell to Minnesota, according to the GoFundMe.

Stephen Kuehl has served as the pastor of Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church in Powell since 2011.

The online fundraiser had a goal of raising $75,000, but had doubled that effort with more than $130,000 raised as of Thursday afternoon.

The fire remains under investigation, but reports indicate the cause is believed to be accidental.
