CHARRED BODY-Burns resulting from placing an oil can on a range caused the death Tuesday of Mrs. Henry Clare (sic) 52, of 911 Second Avenue, Dayton Ky. While filing a lamp in her summer kitchen Monday evening, she thoughtlessly set the can down on the hot range and seeing her mistake, attempted to remove it when with a loud report the oil exploded and the flames enveloped her.
Neighbors attracted by her screams, made futile efforts to smother the flames with rugs. Her clothing was entirely consumed. Mrs. Clare, terribly charred and in intense agony, was being removed to Speers Hospital with the husband returned home. He found firemen extinguishing the burning summer kitchen.
