MAUS - A SHOCKING DEATH - Mr. Charles Maus, an uncle of Harry Maus, of this place, a pensioner of the war of 1812, and aged nearly eighty-five years, was so badly burned at his home in Lewisburg, Union county, a few days ago that death ensued a few hours after the accident. The old gentleman was very feeble and comparatively helpless, and while sitting in his arm chair he lit his pipe and unfortunately threw the burning match upon his clothing which ignited, burning the upper part of his chest, breast, throat, and chin in a terrible manner. His right hand, with which he attempted to subdue the flame, was also shockingly burned. He was alone at the time, but his son, Samuel Maus, with whom he resided, hearing an unusual noise, hastened to his side and saved him from being burned to a crisp at once. In his efforts to help his father Mr. Maus had his right hand badly burned. This happened about one o'clock in the afternoon, and on the evening of the following day the spirit of the aged patriot returned to the God who gave it. He was a member of the Baptist church, and highly respected by all who knew him. Wed. 23 April 1879 issue. BOYCE - The aged mother of J.A.
