Source, Rutland (Vt) Weekly Herald--Thur.Ma. 11,1893. RUTLAND, VT. FATALLY BURNED. Mrs. Bridget McDonough's Dress Catches Fire and Burns Her. Mrs. Bridget McDonough was burned Tuesday while throwing rubbish on a fire and her recovery is uncertain. Mrs. McDonough was housecleaning for Mrs. W. E. Nelson at her home, No. 3 Lincoln avenue,yesterday , and at the latter end of the day was burning rubbish in the garden. She had just brought her apron full of papers to the fire and about to dump them, when her dress caught fire and was soon all ablaze. She rushed down Grant avenue shrieking at the top of her voice and calling people to the doors and windows. As she fell exhausted to the ground assistance reached her and soon the flames were extinguished. Mrs. McDonough was taken to a house near by and doctors called. Dr. Boyce and Grinnell arrived in a short time and the burns were dressed. Upon examination it was found that her legs were burned almost to a crisp. The lower body was badly burned, and the flesh of the arms was almost falling from the bones. her hair was burned to the scalp, but her face was not at all disfigured. She was taken to her home on River street and Rev.Father Gaffney called. He administered the last rites of the church. Mrs. McDonough at this time was delirious and continually prayed and sung. Last evening Drs. Hanrahan and Stearus called at the house and found the patient much quieter. Little hopes are entertained of her recovery. Mrs. McDonough is well known in the city. She is about 65 years old.
