Mrs. Jane Hornsby, Age 80, Seriously Burned Thursday

Mrs. Jane Hornsby, mother of Mrs. S. A. Love, was seriously burned Thursday
morning about nine thirty o'clock when her clothing was ignited from a heating
stove by which she was standing to warm. Mrs. Hornsby had been sitting by the
stove and it is supposed that she stood up turning her back toward it to warm
and the skirt of her dress touching the stove became ignited and soon burst
into flames spreading over her entire body. Her screams brought her daughter,
Mrs. Love, to her at once who dragged her into an adjoining room where she
tood the covers from a bed wrapping them around her to extinguish the flames.

A physician was summoned, the wounds dressed, and at noon Thursday Mrs.
Hornsby was resting better. Her burns, while serious are not considered
critical. Mrs. Hornsby who makes her home with Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Love is
about 80 years old.
