Cairo Messenger, December 15, 1905
Hub. Chason Burns To Death
Mr. Herbert Chason, a prosperous young farmer in this county, residing a few 
miles west of Ochlocknee, came to a horrible death last Tuesday.  Coming to 
Cairo on Monday previous, and thinking that he would probably be late returning 
that night, he advised his wife that she and the little child should go to a 
neighbor's home to spend the night, which they did.  Returning late Monday 
night, Mr. Chason built a large fire as it was rather cool, and this had not 
burned down when he retired.  Several hours later he awoke to find his house on 
fire and the flames had even reached the bed on which he was resting.  He 
undertook to escape but being upstairs, he found it impossible to pass out 
without sustaining serious burns, from which he died about 9 o'clock the 
following morning.  He has a great many relatives together with friends 
throughout the county, who will receive the news of his death sadly.
