mrs. SALLIE B WEIGH
Succumbs To Fatal Burns At Her Home
In Byantsville.

One of the saddest deaths that hi.
ever occurred in this community was
that of Mrs Salie b. Welch, Thursday,
Jan. 25th. About eleven thirty O'Clock
Thursday morning, Mrs. WEIGH who
was alone in room at her home. caught
her clothing on fire. Just how it hap
pened Is not known but her screams
immediately brought her grand daugh-
ter, Miss Mary Ellen Farley to the
scene who tried to eXtinguish the fire,
and called for assistance. Several Of
the neighbors heard her calls for help
but by the time they arrived Mrs.
Welch was mass of flames and the
physicians said she could not possibly
live but short time, however, she lin
gered until $50 O'Clock that night.
Mrs. Nelch was 70 years of age and
had lived her entire life IN this com
munitv and was well known and popu-
lar. She was well liked by every one
who knew her. She was the widow of
Chas Wech who died a number of
years ago. At an early age she Joined
the Methodist church at Mt Olivet
where she has been a member ever
since and lived consistent Christian
lite. She will be greatly missed and
her sudden death will cast shadow
over this vicinity FOR anindetinite time,
and a gloom which will be most difficult
to expel. The home circle is broken.
No more will she answer TO the call OF
the loved ones but the Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away and He dOeth all
things well. The Lord knew best, the
call came and she has gone to answer
the summons. Mrs. WEIGH is survived
by two daughters, Mrs John Bryant
