Surnames: Kleiner Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Sh.2ADI/1848 Message Board Post: Source: The Lawrenceburgh Register, Thurs. May 15, 1873 ed. under the heading of Aurora. "Fatal Accident. Mrs. Kleiner, wife of Henry Kleiner, one of the proprietors of the new furniture factory, on Decatur street, was very dangerously if not fatally burned yesterday (Wednesday) about noon, caused by the bottom melting from a bucket containing coal tar, which was being heated upon the stove. The tar instantly flashed up setting fire to her clothing, and before assistance could reach her she was dreadfully burned. Her little child, a babe some three or four months old, was also painfully but not seriously burned. Since writing the above we learn that Mrs. Kleiner died from the effects of her injuries, about 7 o'clock, Wednesday evening." NOTE: I am not related, and have no further information.
