The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, September 1, 1877
Terrible.--Mrs. JEPSON wife of Agent Jepson, of Easton, Ks., was burned to death
on Friday evening of last week by the explosion of a kerosene oil can. She was
in the act of pouring oil upon the fire when it took fire and exploded and she
was so terribly burned that she died only a short time later. Mr. Jepson in
trying to save her was badly burned and the babe was also seriously burned. Mrs.
Jepson was a daughter of Mr. LAUGHMILLER who is no doubt well known to many of
our readers, and has only been married a little over a year. Will people never
learn that coal oil is a very dangerous thing to handle? Never kindle a fire by
pouring coal oil on it.
