Mrs. Clara Little Steinour died on Tuesday evening of last week from the fearful 
burns received the day previously as told in our last issue, aged about 50 
years.  She had swept a hot stove with a broom and latter taking fire set her 
dress on fire.  From the waist up her body had been frightfully burnt, the right 
hand being the only part untouched.  Her face was so burned that the swollen 
flesh completely covered her eyes.  During the first twenty-four hours her 
sufferings were to some extent relieved, but Tuesday afternoon her suffering 
became intense and lasted until death.  On account of her condition she was 
buried Wednesday afternoon, Rev. W. W. Hartman conducting the services, 
interment in Evergreen cemetery.  She is survived by her husband, one son, who 
is a U. S. Marine stationed at Washington.  Two sisters survive, Sallie and 
Annie.
