FATHER AND THREE chill
DREN BURN TO DEATH

Roy Smith, assistant postmaster,
handed the News the following article
clipped from the Sayre Headlight:
W. A. Heady residing one mile south
and four east of Berlin, together with
three children, lost their lives at an
early hour Tuesday morning, when the
family home was completely destroy
ed by fire.
The Heady home consisted of lit
tie two-room structure. The main por
tion of the building or the living room
being at the east, while a "lean-to"
/ had been constructed at the west end,
which was used aS "A sleeping room.
The fire originated in the living room
and not until the roof on the main por-
tion of the house fell in did its occu-
pants discover that the house was on
| fire.
Mr.. Heady jumped out of bed open
ed the door between the sleeping and
living rooms, Immediately closing it
and grabbing his BABY. threw it thru
a window, pushing its mother after it.
He then got hold of the two girls one
aged nine and the other eleven, and
helped them through the window. In
the meantime the little son, aged six,
had gotten out of bed. and Mr. Heady
thought that he had crawled through
the window, and was outside. Then
Mr.. Heady himself crawled out.
While saving the others Mr.. Heady
was frightfully burned, yet he was
able to walk to the home Of a neigh
Dor, w. T. Kent, and arouse them. fall
ing over upon the floor a moment af-
ter telling them of the fire, and never
recovering.
Not until Mr.. Kent reached the
scene Of the fire was it discovered that
the little boy had not succeeded in
getting out and his charred body was
found in the still smoudering ruins.
The two girls who were gotten out
by Mr.. Heady were frightfully burned,
but were Immediately removed TO the
Kent home. One died during the fore
noon, and the other passed away dur
ing the afternoon. The mother and
babe escaped without serious injuries,
although suffering severe burns.
How Mr.. Heady ever managed to

comprehension. His night clothing
had been burned from his body, ex-
cept at the shoulders, and his entire
body was burned almost to a crisp
After daylight arrived the flesh from
the sole of his left foot was found in
the highway, half way between the
Kent and Heady homes, having drop
ped off while the father heroically
struggled to get assistance for his
family. How he ever travelled the dis
tance is simply a marvel.
The funeral services for the four
were held at Berlin yesterday after
noon, and very largely attended. In
terment was in one grave at the Ber-
lin cemetery.
Mr.. Heady was a man of about 3G
years of age. and had been resident
of this section for some years, and
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
county goes out to the mother and
babe in their hour of bereavement.
