Greenville Independent - Wednesday, July 11, 1894

Mrs. Jane Brogan of Ionia met a terrible death Sunday, being burned from head 
to foot. She was getting dinner, and had turned on the gasoline and lighted the 
stove, and probably forgot to turn off the fluid. It ran over the floor and 
caught fire; soon Mrs. Brogan's clothes caught in her feet and she was quickly 
a mass of flames. She ran out of doors screaming and fell upon the porch. Every 
particle of clothing was burned from her body, which was scorched from head to 
foot so that the skin all pealed off. The accident occurred at 11:30 o'clock 
and she died at 8 o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Brogan was 58 years of age, the 
wife of James Brogan, a section "boss" on the Detroit, Lansing & Northern 
railroad.
