The Henry County Weekly
Gasoline on His Hands Caught Fire.
     Mr. Asa Lemon suffered a painful accident Tuesday night at Lemon Brothers 
Garage.
     He had been at work on an automobile and washed his hands as he was 
leaving his work, using the gasoline to get the grease, etc., of the machinery 
from them.
     Though he believed he had dried his hands with a towel, he struck the 
match to make a light in the office.
     Instantly the match flame ignited the gas from the gasoline on his hands 
and the flames ran over his hands and arms before he could do anything.
     Mr. Lemon’s clothing was badly burned and both arms and hands had the skin 
burned from them.
     He suffered much pain from the burns, but they are reported as not being 
serious, and he is expected to be able to be about his affairs again in a 
week.
