June 7, 1918


DIES FROM BURNS; FUNERAL HELD WED.


The sad news was received Tuesday by relatives of G. M. Karnes to the effect 
that he was one of the unfortunate victims in the Lindsay hotel fire which 
occurred early Tuesday morning and received injuries which later caused his 
death.

Mr. Karnes, who is an old-timer of this community was returning to his home 
at Verden from a visit with his sister at Ardmore and had to lay over in 
Lindsay to wait on the train that would bring him to Chickasha the next 
morning and was putting up at the hotel above mentioned and the alarm was 
given early Tuesday morning.  Mr. Karnes who is about eighty-three years of 
age was unable to get out of the building before sustaining serious burns 
which caused his death on Wednesday morning.

Mr. Karnes has been a resident of this vicinity for the past nine years and 
is well and favorably known.  He has been making his home with his sister 
Mrs. Mary Karnes two miles west and one half mile south of Verden.  Deceased 
leaves four brothers and three sisters also other relatives to mourn his loss.

The body was brought to Verden Wednesday evening and funeral services were 
held at the grave by Rev. C. W. Taylor.

The NEWS joins the many friends in extending sympathy to the sorrowing 
relatives.
