York (PA) Democratic Age March 10, 1887
BURIED AT NORFOLK
Miss Amanda Hefferner (sic), who died on Tuesday morning in Norfolk, Va., from 
burns received by the explosion of a coal oil lamp, was buried in that city this 
morning at ten o'clock. At the same hour, funeral services were held at the 
residence of the unfortunate young lady's father, on South Queen street, Rev. 
Henry Walker, pastor of St. John's German Lutheran Church, officiating.

Additional Comments:
There is an article in the Norfolk Landmark on March 8, 1887, pg. 1, about an oil 
lamp explosion at 150 Wolf Street, but the woman named was not Amanda. There is an 
A. Hefner listed in the VA death register who died of burns on March 8, at 151 
Wolf Street.
