MRS. MARTHA NASH
DIES FROM FIRE

Mrs. Martha C. Nash, we'll known in
New Haven and Middlebury, lost her
life as the result of a hotel fire in San
Francisco this week and her sister, Miss
Fidelia Jewett, is in a critical condition
as result of her experiences in the
same fire.
! Mrs. Nash and her sister were at the
Hotel Berkshire, hotel of the same
name and on the same site as one at
which she was stopping fifteen years
ago when the San Francisco earthquake
occurred. At that time Mrs. Nash lost
all her personal belongings at the hotel,
in fire which followed the earthquake,
but she herself was not injured.
She and her sister had recently been
stopping at the New Berkshire, for
they have numerous relatives in Cali
fornia. In the fire which occurred early
Sunday morning, they escaped from the
hotel but thinly clad, and suffered both
from burns and the inhalation of smoke
and flames.
Both women were taken to the Lane
hospital, but they had suffered severe
exposure and contracted pneumonia.
Mrs. Nash was too severely burned to
rally, however, and died Tuesday. Her
sisters condition, though less serious
from burns, is precarious. Prof. Phelps
N. SWEET of the Surveying and Engin-
eering Department at the College, who
is one of numerous nephews, had word
today that Miss Jewett had but slight
chance of recovery.
Mrs. Nash was IA years old, the widow
of Phelps Nash, who was one of the
wealthiest and best known residents of
New Haven where he carried on the
William Nash farm William Nash was
one of the pioneers of this section, and
was president of the first bank organ
lied in Middlebury in 1882. Mrs. Nash
was born in Weybridge and was the
daughter of the late Solomon Jewett.
In addition to the sister who was with
her in the West this winter, she is sur
vived by another sister, Mrs. Rather
inc SWEET of Cambridge, Mass, with
whom she has usually spent her win
ters. She has returned nearly every
summer to the old home at New Haven,
or in late years spent the summer
months with her nephew, Prof. SWEET,
in the village.
