Elsie K. Forney Funeral Tuesday Cambridge, Ohio

Funeral services will be held in the First Baptist Church, Tuesday at 11:30 
a.m. for Mrs. Elsie Kennedy, 51, wife of J. R. Forney, night clerk in the 
Cambridge Post Office.

According to information recieved from the family, Mrs. Forney was preparing 
breakfast Saturday morning in a detached kitchen of their home on Cambridge 
Rt.3, when her apron caught fire from a coal stove igniting her clothing.  She 
ran in the house where her screams attracted the attention of Mr. Forney who 
was still not up. He threw bed clothing over her in an attempt to extinguish 
the fire.  Every part of her body was burned with the exception of her feet, 
because she was wearing shoes.  Mr. Forney was severely burned; the right arm 
to the elbow and both hands.

Mrs. Forney was born in Kimbolton, the daughter of James and Catherine DeHart 
Kennedy.
