FARMER BURNS TO DEATH
GILBERT T.. HAUGEN MET HOR-
RIBLE DEATH FRIDAY.
Was Burning Corn Stalks on His
Farm. Found Dead by Peter
Modem.

Last Friday afternoon Gilbert E.
Haugea met horrible death by fire
at his farm home about Y miles
south OF DEBORAH on the Calmar
road Mr.. Haugen went out in the
field after dinner and was engaged
in burning up corn stalks in the
field near the road, about quarter OF
a mile from his house. He had
kerosene can with him, and although
no one saw how his clothes caught
on fire, the can when found, had eX-
ploded and the bottom was blown
out. He was found about $3.50 o.
clock by Peter Modem, near neigh.
bor who was driving along the road,
He noticed a smoking heap along
the fence, and on Investigating
found it to be Mr.. Haugen, burned
to an almost unrecognizable co1di'
ton. His face was horribly burned
and the flesh on his body was charred
in an awful manner.
lis body was found in reclining
position and the back Of his head
res ing Oh the lower wire OF the
fence. Willis & Ness, the undertake
ers, went out and brought the re-
mains to their undertaking parlors.
Mr.. Haugen had suffered stroke
this winter and it is possibility
that he suffered a second one the
day of his death, as the position he
was found in would indicate.
The deceased was born April 90,
1914, in Beloit, Wis, and came to
Iowa il 1851, and his home had been
here ever since, on the farm where
he met such a sad death. He was
reputed to be one of the wealthiest
men of this county, and it is said his
estate is valued at more than $780,
600. He never married, and is sur
vived by one sister, Mrs. o. Modem,
of Madison township. He was a well
known farmer all the years he has
been in this county, and was well
and favorably known by all, and his
sad death brings forth the sorrow OF
many.
The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon from the home
Rev. Boo officiating, and interment
was in the Haugen cemetery.
