VICTIM OF EXPLOSION BURNS IS BURIED IN ST. PAUL'S CHURCH CEMETERY
Services for Howard Hass, 15 year-old Arlington boy who died when a kerosene can exploded, were held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Reckmeyer Funeral Home in Arlington, followed by services at St. Paul's Lutheran Church north of Arlington. The Rev. G. W. Wolter officiated, and school mates were pallbearers. Music was furnished by a group from the Blair high school choir. Interment was in the church cemetery.
Howard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Hass, received his fatal injuries last Tuesday while pouring kerosene on the low burning fire in a stove, when an explosion blew the bottom out of the container for the fuel and threw flames over him and the room. His mother was burned, less seriously, when she dashed into the room as the explosion occurred and tried to help put out the flames.
The youth, a ninth-grade student at Arlington high school was a member of the junior basketball team. Born in Blair, he moved with his parents to Arlington 14 years ago.
Surviving are his parents; two brothers, Julius, Jr., 17, and LeRoy, 7; and a sister, Darlene, 13.
