Virginian-Pilot  May 3, 1908
While standing near a gas stove yesterday morning about 8 o’clock, upon which she 
was heating irons, the clothing of Miss Maggie Hickey of 7 Virginia street, became 
ignited and she was enveloped in flames, the result of which she died at St. 
Vincent’s hospital shortly after.
Miss Hickey screamed for help, but, before assistance came, she was fatally 
burned. Bankets were wrapped about her and the fire extinguished, but not until 
the flesh was almost burned into a crisp.
The ambulance came from St. Vincent’s and Miss Hickey was hurried to the hospital 
where, although everything possible was done for her relief, she died in about an 
hour.
Miss Hickey was 58 years old and had a host of friends. The funeral will occur at 
St. Mary’s church tomorrow morning at 9:30 o’clock. The interment will be in the 
Catholic cemetery.
