 Burned over the greater part of her body from her head to her feet, Mrs. Della Reynolds, 6S. widow of Peter Reynolds. died Thursday morning shortly after o'clock at the Day KimbaH hospital at Putnam.
 Mrs. Reynolds lost her life as the result of her dress becoming ignited while she was working about a little fire that had been built in the yard at her home at Elmville to burn up the winters accumulation of dried grass, leaves and other such matter Before aid could reach her her gar ments were blazing and before she had been so badly burned that it was at once evident that there was little chance of her recovery. Mrs. Rey- holds was quickly taken to the hospi- tai in the car of George Kent of Elm vile. She retained consciousness and talked in a normal way on the trip to l the hospital, but the effect of the burns she received began to become manifest later in the evening and caused her death within a few hours. | The affair shocked the people of Elm vile, where Mrs. Reynolds had been 1 a resident for great many years and where she was universally esteemed 1 as a splendid Christian woman. | The little fire that caused Mrs. Key holds death was being attended by her daughter, Miss Mary, when it seemed to be getting a little out of l control and making it's way toward a shed. Mrs. Reynolds went to lend aid 1 in subduing it. and. it is now appar- 1 ent, her dress caught afire and was 1 blazing considerably before she be- came aware of the fact. Miss Reynolds and MT. and Mrs. Frank Brophy. who i live in the same dwelling as did Mrs. Reynolds, did everything in their pow CT to save Mrs. Reynolds. but their efforts were in vain.
 Mr5. Reynolds leaves five sons, James, William, Peter and Charles, all of this town. and Thomas, who is with the telephone signal department of the New Haven road. and two daugh- ters, Mrs. Margaret Weeks. wife of John East Douglass, and Miss Mary, at home.
 Mrs Reynolds body was brought from the hospital to the undertaking ] rooms of L. E. Kennedy here. during Thursday forenoon.
