ARLINGTON MAN IS BURNED TO DEATH BY BOILER STEAM
RAY CLARK, 42, DIES WHILE SLEEPING NEAR A DES MOINES FACTORY
Ray Clark, 42, a resident of Arlington, but for 20 years a transient traveler, died Friday in Des Moines hospital of burns he suffered as he slept beside the wall of a factory there.
Clark, the Associated Press reported, alighted from a train there last Thursday night, and evidently decided to get a few hours rest. A short distance above him was the outlet for the factory boilers. Steam was let out of the boiler about midnight, and it scalded Clark about the hands and face.
RITES IN ARLINGTON
The body was returned to Arlington, and funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the home of his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. William S. Adams. The Rev. H. C. VanValkenburgh officiated. Clark was a son of the late Mrs. and Mrs. Martin Clark of Arlington. He is survived by three brothers and five sisters.
