H. Gray at Rogers last week. R. F. Pool of Cameron went to Rogers the next day and from him we obtain the following statement which he secured from members of the family and is correct: It was late Tuesday afternoon when the distressing accident happened. Miss Nellie had been curling her mother’s hair and when Mrs. Gray attempted to blow out the lamp used, the flames went down, ignited the oil, causing the lamp to explode. Mrs. Gray’s clothes were set on fire and Miss Nellie in her efforts to aid her mother, caught fire and ran out into the yard, where the breeze fanned the flames, causing her to be frightfully burned. She died within a few hours, it being impossible to relieve her. She was buried in Rogers cemetery the afternoon of the next day. Mrs. Gray was painfully burned but will recover.
