Sleeps in Weeds Fatally Burned - November 1912 (E. St. Louis, IL) 

(George) Scott Campbell, a painter employed by the Terminal Railroad 
Association, was burned to crisp this afternoon in a weed fire along the 
railroad tracks near the Cotton Compress in the South End. Campbell laid down 
after dinner for a sleep. It is thought that a spark from a passing engine 
fired the weeds. Before Campbell awakened his clothing was almost burned from 
his body. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital where Dr. C. F. Wilhelmj 
pronounced his burns probably fatal. Campbell lives at Ninth Street and 
Valentine Avenue.
