Louis MYERS, of Lost Creek, was in today and brought the sad intelligence of 
the tragic death of ‘Grandma’ McCLAIN. Monday night at a late hour, the lady 
arose without rousing the family to enjoy a smoke. While lighting her pipe, her 
clothing caught fire and very soon every vestige of apparel was burned from her 
body. She lingered until Tuesday night, when death relieved her terrific 
suffering. Mrs. McClain, who was a widow, resided with a married daughter. She 
leaves a large family of children and grandchildren, and was over 85 years of 
age.
