An Awful Happening.

An account taken from the Full
ton Sun;
One of the most appalling acct.
dents that we have been called upon
to record, happened last Saturday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
Harley Goodman, 6 miles east of
Fulton. Mrs. Goodmau's mother,
Mrs. Martha V. Ficklin, was visit
ing her daughter, who was confin.
ed to her bed with sickness.
While Mrs. Ficklin was waiting on
her daughter her dress caught fire
the skirt touching the stove. In n
moment her entire body was envel-
Oped in flames. She ran out of
the house and tried to roll in the
snow. Her daughter sprang out of
bed and did all she could to extin-
guish the flames but to no purpose.
The clothing was all burned off her
body except her shoes aud her body
was charred black except her face.
A physician was called aud all that
could be done to relieve her nf the
intOlerable misery and pain was
done, but she died at 6 o'clock
The remains were inferred mt Uni
ty church cemetry Sunday, after
funeral services by Rev. Mr.. Bar
ger. Mrs. Martha V. Ficklin was 90
years old aud the widow of the late
Thompson Ficklin. veteran Of
the Mexican war. About ) years
ago while carrying the mail be.
tween Reform aud Fulton his horse
took fright, ran off aud Mr.. Flick.
lin was thrown from the vehicle
and his neck was broken. They
were among our very best people
aud it is a peculiar coincidence
that both of them should meet witt
such tragic deaths. Mrs. Ficklir
was a niece of Judge VIII Wilker,
son and a daughter of the late
John Taylor.
