Mrs Bjork Dead

The sad news of the death OF
Mrs. l. E. Bjork of Ashland. 2
slster-in-law of Jacob Bjork oil
this city, was learned in this
city on Monday. The funera
will be held at Ashland this
afternoon. The following &C.
count taken from the Ashland
Press of Monday tells of the
explosion which caused Mrs.
Bjork s death.
Mrs. :. E. Bjork who has been
confined in the hospital for the
past several weeks as result
of injuries which she received
in the explosion of dynamite
caps, which she accidentally
placed in the furnace at her
home, died yesterday morning.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Bjork
while star ting the fire in the
furnace placed a small box of
dynamite caps into it un beknown
to her. The f4mes caused havoc
and the explosion which followed
the Ignition of the box threw
Mrs. Bjork. who was near the
furnace over ten feet. Thous
ands of flying splinters lodged
in her legs. Besides this her
left arm was almost severed.
She was picked up from the
floor of the basement in an un.
conscious condition and hurried
to the hospital where an i'm
mediate operation was necessary
to remove the splinters from
her limbs. The physician on
the case feared that the severity
of the injuries and the shock
would soon cause her death but
she survived and appeared to be
recovering from the effects of
the accident. During the past
seven days however her con-
dition has not been so encourag
ing and death eliminated her
intense sufferings yesterday
morning. The many friends of
the deceased extend their deep.
est sy mpathy to the family in
their bereavement in the death
Of their beloved wife and mother.
The deceased is survived be
sides her husband three sons
Anil, Harry and Albin and a
mother and sister residing in
Finland.
