Lonergan, Nora - While driving home after a visit to Joliet Tuesday James 
Lonergan, of Channahon, lit his cigar and dropped the match in the bottom of 
the buggy. The clothing of his wife instantly caught fire and they hastened to 
put out the blaze but did not succeed. Mr. Lonergan called for help and the 
fire was put out after using several pails of water. But the help came too 
late to save Mrs. Lonergan. She was badly burned from her waist to her feet. 
As soon as possible she was taken to St. Joseph's hospital where she died at 4 
o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Lonergan was badly burned about the hands and 
feet. Mr. Lonergan recently sold his farm in Millsdale and moved to Channahon 
where he married Mrs. Coss, who owned a farm near Dresden. The funeral 
services were held at St. Mary's church in this place Friday morning.
