Does anyone have any idea of who this lady is, she lived for 83 years, and died such a terrible death. -----Original Message----- From: Lourice Merritt <[email protected]> To: Sherry Harrell <[email protected]> Date: Monday, October 18, 2004 5:39 PM Subject: Mrs. Jake McMillan 1927 Do you know who she is? born c. 1844. The Douglas Enterprise ... March 11, 1927. AGED WOMAN IS BURNED TO DEATH NEAR TIFTON Tifton, Ga., March 1st.--- Mrs. Jake McMillan, 83 years old, who resided nearly all her life in this county, was burned to death, in her home, about 15 miles south of Tifton. The aged woman was in the house alone and was evidently trying to light her pipe with a straw from her old-fashioned broom, when her clothing caught fire. She screamed and some children in the yard heard her and ran to her rescue and smothered the flames of her clothing. She died in a few minutes. SOURCE: Personal research.
