Mrs. Frigge Dies of Burns Last Friday
Funeral Serives are Held in COlerdige at St. Michael's Church

COLERIDGE-  Mrs. Clarence Frigge, 19, of Coleridge, died of second 
degree burns in St. Joseph Hospital in Sioux City Friday morning 
following an explosion at her farm home Wednesday evening.
	Mr. and Mrs. Frigge were employed at the Martin Hartung farm 
three miles east of Coleridge.  Mrs. Frigge poured kerosene on kindling 
in the stove which she believed to be out after which it exploded.
	Her clothing caught fire, but she picked up her 7-month-old 
child and ran from the house.  Her husband and Mr. Hartung who were 
working in a nearby field, heard her crys and came to her assistance.  
Mr. Hartung rushed her to the doctor in Laurel while Mr. Frigge 
extinguished the fire.  The Colerdige fire department was called, but 
the fire was out when they arrived, with but minor damage to the house.
	Mrs. Frigge was taken from Laurel to St. Joseph's hospital in 
Sioux City where she later died.

	Funeral services for Mrs. Frigge were held Monday morning at 
9:30 from St. Michael's Catholic church in Coleridge with Rev. Vaclav 
Kovar officiating.  Burial was made in the parish cemetery.
	Charlene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Folk was born at 
Pleasant Valley July 7, 1929, and grew to womanhood in the Hartington 
community.
	She attended school in Hartington and after her school days was 
employed there.  She was married to  Clarence Frigge at Coleridge.
	She is survived by her husand and seven-month-old baby; her father, 
Clarence Folk of Hartington; and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Prince of South 
Carolina and Mardella Folk of Hartington.  Her mother died in Hartington 
several years ago.
