Saturday evening, about eight
o'clock, our quiet little village was
startled with the cry of fire! fire!
1t was soon discovered that the
home of Grandma easier vas in
flames. The next thought was
(knowing she was alone) where Is
grandma? Doors were broken in,
and she was found upon the floor
insensible. She breathed her last
in a few moments after being res
cued from the flames. The sup
position is that she was in the act
of lighting her fire with kerosene
when the quick blaze burned her
face and was taken into her lungs,
causing sudden death. The old home
with it's many old and valuable
keepsakes is all in ashes. How
grandma loved the dear old place
where she had lived so many years,
and where grandfather died a few
years ago. There was lost in the
tirc many beautiful and rare old
pieces of jewelry, papers, money and
pictures that will be a great loss to
her family. The two sons, George
and Douglas, have watched and
cared for their feeble old mother
with constant devotion. Douglas
and his wife lived but a few feet
from her home. She had grown to
be very childish about many things.
Mary easier was seventy-eight years
old, a woman of refinement and in
telligence.
The family have the deepest SYM
pathy of the community in their at
Fiction. The funeral services were
held at the home of Douglas easier.
Rev. Mrs. Powell, Of Custer.
preached a beautiful and touching
sermon. The handsome casket was
covered with beautiful flowers. A
very large crowd of friends of the
family were in attendance and many
came from the surrounding towns:
