CHILD DIES FROM BURNS

Thelma Lumbert, 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Lumbert near 
Hastings, died at the Pennock hospital in Hastings, Wednesday, Dec. 11 from  
burns received when she poured kerosene on a fire she was starting in the 
kitchen stove. 

The child's father, working nearby, succeeded in smothering the flames burning 
the girl's clothing, then rushed her to Pennock hospital, where she died shortly 
afterward. Fire starting in the rear of the hoe was extinguished by the rural 
fire department after causing minor damage.

Besides the parents, she is survived by two brothers and two sisters, a 
grandfather, Ben Lambert in Lake Odessa, and a grandmother, Mrs. Cora Whaley at 
Winchester, Tenn. Funeral services were held at the Leonard Funeral home in 
Hastings and burial was in the Fuller cemetery.
