BURNED TO DEATH. Coroner Charles r.
Coombs was called to Searsmont, April It'll,
to investigate the death by burning of Mrs.
Margaret A. Heal. Mrs. Heal had been
alone in her room some time when her
screams summoned the other members Of
the family. She was found to be envelOped
in flames, with her clothing nearly burned
off. She died in a few minutes after the fire
was extinguished Mr.. Coombs decided that
an inquest was unnecessary, as Mrs. Heal
had evidently fallen asleep while sitting in
a rocking chair, smoking, and her pipe, fall
ling to her lap, set fire to her clothes. Mrs
Heal was born in Brooks 81 years ago last
February. Her maiden name was Hall, and
she was the wife OF Maurice Heal.
