In some way, her dress caught fire from the match. She first tried to smother it, but failing she ran outdoors and then returned to the house. The poor woman was alone and before Mr. Mahoney, her nearest neighbor, reached the house, she was burnt to a crisp. Dr. McComas was called but he could only relieve her suffering. She died in 40 minutes after the doctor reached her.
