FOREST BOY FIRE VICTIM
Rode Horse Quarter Mile With
Clothing Ablase and Put
Out the Fire.

The funeral of Aaron Currier,
II year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. A. Currier, of Forest, was con-
Quoted Wednesday and the re-
mains were laid to rest at the
Morrow cemetery. The funeral
was very largely attended, the
tragic circumstances of the boys
death being such as to elicit the
most sincere sympathy of the
people of the entire region.
The boy died shortly after
midnight Saturday morning
from burns received between z
and 8 o'clock Friday evening.
The boy had been sent to the
gasoline shed, about a quarter
of a mile from the house, to fill
a gasoline lamp for use in the
home. It seems he rode a horse
after the gasoline and had filled
the lamp and ignited the gaso-
line he had spilled on his cloth
ing when he lighted a match to
search for wrench with which
to tighten the tap on the tank.
He leaped on his horse and rode
nearly quarter of a mile to a
creek where he extinguished the
fire and was wandering toward
home when he was discovered
by his father, who went to the
gasoline shed when the boy did
not return with the lamp as soon
as he should. The clothing was
burned from his body and his
hands were burned to a crisp.
The singed hair of the horse
showed how the boy had at
tempted to make the dash to
water and save his life by jump
ing into the creek but is seems
he was thrown from the horse
some distance before the creek
was reached because burned
parts of his clothing and burned
flesh from his hands were found
on the ground where he had
made his way to the creek after
being thrown from the horse.
The boy retained conscious
ness until he was given an opiatt
by the physician to relieve the
pain. He told his parents of hoV
| the fire was started but 10 tight,

ing the match telook for the
wrench, he had taken a position
sufficiently PARKWAY from the
gasoline tank to save the tank
and the building IN which it was
stored.
Aaron Currier was a lovable
boy and was liked by all who
knew him. Because of his cheer
full and unselfish disposition he
was very popular with the child
rem of his age. The floral of
ferings at the funeral were in
great abundance and consisted
of the choicest flowers that
could be secured.
