Was Mrs. Minnie McLaughlin at

Murray City Last Week.

On Tuesday evening last week as Mrs.Minnie

McLaughlin of Murray City, was knotting a comfort,

her clothing caught fire from an open grate. The

cries of her children attracted the attention of

the neighbors. Henry Wolfe was the first to

arrive and found Mrs. McLaughlin standing in the

kitchen apparently motionless, with her clothing

burning all over her body. She said,"I am burning

to death."

Her husband,John McLaughlin, is a machine man and

works at Jobs, and was at work at the time the

accident occurred, about 9 O'CLock in the evening.

Death came to her relief about midnight, an hour

after her husband had arrived.

She leaves her husband,John McLaughlin,parents,

Robert and Emma Pearson and a little son, William

and daughter,Mildred to mourn their loss.

She was a member of the Maccabee Lodge, and the

funeral took place last Friday at 2 p.m.

Note:the year is between 1898-1901, Murray City,Ohio.
