TERRELL, Mrs. E. M.
(8 Jun 1916, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. E. M. Terrell, residing north of Doxey, was fatally burned Friday
afternoon of last week.  While burning rubbish in the barnyard the barn
caught on fire, and in attempting to extinguish the flames her clothing
caught fire.  Her son who was working in a field near by, ran to the house
when he saw the burning barn, and later found his mother near the creek
which she had evidently attempted to reach to extinguish the flames from
her clothing.  A physician was immediately summoned, but her body was so
badly burned that death came to her relief Saturday morning.
Funeral services were held from the home Saturday afternoon and the
remains were laid to rest in the Doxey-Sayre cemetery.
