    • WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH CHILD SERIOUSLY INJURED

      Distressing Accident Results in the Death of Mrs. Henry Reinhardt and Injury to Granddaughter

      As a result of a very distressing accident, which occurred at about 9 o'clock on Sunday morning, the death of Mr. Henry Reinhardt Ahrens street west, took place five hours later at the Berlin-Waterloo Hospital and little hopes are entertained for the infant granddaughter of the deceased who has since contracted pneumonia at the same institution.

      Mrs., Reinhardt was lighting the gasoline stove at the time, when in a manner unknown her clothing caught fire. Almost instantaneously she was enveloped in a mass of flames and rushed out into the lawn. Her wild screams for help attracted her husband who was sitting out in the yard. And he immediately tore the clothing from her back and attempted to quench the flames by pouring water over her. In in doing so he was severely burned about the right arm which required medical attention.

      In passing out of the kitchen it is thought that the. clothing of the granddaughter of the decease, little Marguerite Ferrier, aged fourteen months, ignited, and while Mrs. Reinhardt was being attended to in the yard, the little tot, huddled up in her high chair, was burning. The fire had caught the bottom of her long dress and eaten its way upward with the result that the limbs and face of the child were terribly scorched.

      By this time, neighbors had come to their assistance, and Drs. H. H. Huehnergard and H. M. Lackner were summoned. The unfortunate woman and the child were rushed to the Berlin and Waterloo Hospital, were everything possible was done to ease the pain

      Mrs. Reinhardt, though suffering agonizing pain, remained conscious to the last, and expired at two o'clock in the' afternoon, about five hours after she had bees admitted to the institution.

      The late Mrs. Reinhardt was in her forty-ninth year, and is survived by her husband and three sons, Messrs. Gorge and Maurice of this town, Will of Sault Ste. Marie, and two daughters, Mrs. Will Ferrier and Florence at home.

      The funeral was held on Wednesday morning at nine o'dock from the late residence on Ahren Street west to St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church and thence to the Roman Catholic cemetery for Interment.
