BURNED TO DEATH.
DR.. Carlton X. Thomas, Formerly of
Ellsworth, Victim of Accident.

DT. NarItOn IL. in0naS, FOrmerly OIL
Ellsworth, Victim of Accident.
Ellsworth friends of DIR. Carlton e.
Thomas. son of B. Frank Thomas, for
merly of Ellsworth, were shocked to learn
of his tragic death at Dorchester, Mass,
Saturday.
When DIR. Thomas went to take out his
automobile Saturday morning, he discov-
cred that the pipes were frozen. With a
torch he started to thaw them out. The
flames reached the gasoline tank, there
was an explosion which threw DIR. Thomas
to the ground, and blazing gasoline envel-
oped him. Mrs. Thomas ran to his
assistance, and was herself severely
burned. Neighbors finally extinguished
the flames.
DR.. Thomas was hurried to the Homeo-
pathic hospital, where he died Saturday
evening. He realized that he had no chance
to live. He did not lose consciousness
until a few moments before the end,
which he faced with the greatest courage
At his request there was a masonic fu-
neral at the Walnut street Unitarian
church in Neponset Monday afternoon.
DIR. Lewis, assistant superintendent OF
the Homeopathic hospital, spoke in the
highest praise of DR.. Thomas career, and
especially OF the work that the young
doctor had done for the poor during the
twelve years he had been building up his
lucrative practice in Dorchester. He was
for time instructor in anatomy at Boston
University medical school.
DIR. Thomas was born in Whitman, Mass,
thirty-five years ago. AS a boy he lived
for several years in Ellsworth with his
parents. He was graduated from the
Ellsworth high school, class of 1895, and
from Boston university medical school
in 1901. He had been practicing success
fully in Dorchester twelve years. He was
married ten years ago, and leaves widow
and two children - Carlton, aged two
years, and Martha, aged one month. His
parents also survive him, with two sisters
- Mrs. Albion Wood, of Ellsworth, and
Miss Jennie Thomas, of Whitman, Mass.

society and other friends were present.
A picnic dinner was served. A birth
day cake, with candle for each year
of Mrs. Higgins age, was presented by
Mrs. Tillie Salisbury. As Mrs. Higgins is
a shut-in, this gathering of friends was
an especial treat. Many gifts and birth
day cards were received, for which she is
very grateful.
