Saranac Advertiser
WILLIAMS, MAUD (BAIRD) (MRS. CASSIUS):
   THE ADVERTISER, Saranac, MI; 4-24-1913, front page:  "Burned To Death" -
While working around the cook stove getting dinner Sunday, Mrs. Cash Williams
clothes caught fire and before it could be put out, burned her whole body to a
crisp.....she died at an early hour Monday morning.
   As near as can be learned, she was changing kettles on the stove, using her
apron as a holder when the apron caught fire.  Her little sons ran out doors and
gave the alarm, but before the neighbors could come to her assistance, her
clothing was nearly burned off and her whole body was terribly burned.
   Dr. Braley was called and did all that could be done for her.  It is a very
sad case and the husband and children and relatives have the sympathy of the
whole community."

   (Same issue of THE ADVERTISER:  "LOCAL NEWS - Mr. and Mrs. Homer Thornton of
Grand Rapids were called here Monday be the death of her sister, Mrs. Cash
Williams."
