Lineville Headlight
Mrs. A. C. Ford was terribly turned at her home, two miles east of Lineville, 
last Friday and she died Monday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock. Her clothing caught 
fire while she was boiling water preparatory to cleaning up the home.
Members of the family were at home and did what they could to extinguish the 
flames with their hands. A negro man who heard the screams ran to the home and 
dashed a tub of water, on the flames, but Mrs. Ford was so badly burned that 
little hopes were held out for her recovery. The deceased was a member of 
Baptist church, was a good woman, devoted to her home, her husband and children. 
She was about 53 years old and is survived by her husband and eight children.
The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday morning and were conducted by 
Rev. J. H. Oakley. Her remains were laid to rest in the Lineville cemetery.
The entire community deeply sympathize with Mr. Ford and his family in the sore 
bereavement that has befallen them.
