Anniston Star December 9, 1947
Miss Mable Ballard, 16, of Lineville. Rt. 1, was burned severely yesterday 
afternoon when the can of fuel oil which she was pouring on a fire in a stove 
exploded, covering her with the burning liquid and setting the house on fire. The 
girl was taken to Anniston Memorial Hospital immediately in an ambulance for 
treatment of the second- and third-degree burns which cover from two thirds to 
four fifths of her body. She was reported to have spent a fairly good night by 
medical authorities, though her condition is critical. Windows in her home were 
blown out when the five-gallon can exploded and set the house on fire. The fire, 
however, was extinguished by a sprinkler system installed in the house.
