BOONE WOMAN DIES WHEN HOME BURNS WEST OF ADVANCE
--------------
Mrs. Nora Cogle Trapped Attempting To Save Belongings
----------
Trapped by flames which destroyed her home three miles west of Advance on the James Gray farm, Mrs. Nora Cogle burned to death this morning after she had rushed into the blazing building to try to save some of her belongings.
Her body was recovered after firemen from the Advance department had extinguished the fire.
Mrs. Cogle was alone in the house when she discovered the fire,which is believed to have started in the roof. She summoned her son,Floyd, 25, who was working in the
barn, and the two attempted to remove some of the furnishings. While the son was dragging a trunk into the yard Mrs. Cogle, against his protests, said she would get part of the bedclothing out of a west room. He yelled to her to leave the burning home but received no answer.
Attempted Rescuer Injured
In the meantime Earl Ray, a neighbor, observed the flames and telephoned an alarm to the Advance fire department which took a truck to the scene. Ray then ran
to the Cogle home in time to restrain young Cogle from reentering the dwelling as the roof was about to collapse. Ray ran to the west bedroom window and broke
the glass with his fist. Smoke, gas and heat formed a concussion which knocked him against a fence,several yards from the house. Ray, not badly injured, and Cogle again
attempted to enter the house, but the roof and walls toppled and the structure was soon reduced to ashes.
When the embers had cooled sufficiently to permit a search to be made, the body of Mrs. Cogle was found near the west bedroom window.
Mr. Cogle was away from home at the time the fire had started, having gone to the home of a neighbor to assist in the morning chores.
Montgomery County Native
Mrs. Cogle was born in Montgomery county, December 1, 1890, a daughter of Ell and Fairy May (Miller) Rutan. The mother preceded her in death and the father survives and resides at Mace. She was married January 28, 1912, in Crawfordsville to Egbert Cogle, who survives. She spent her entire life in Indiana with exception of two years residence in Danville, Ill. She was a member of the Mace Presbyterian Church.
Survivors are the father, the husband, two sons, Russell Cogle of the U.S.S. Case, stationed at Mare Island Navy Yard, California, and Floyd Cogle at home; four brothers, Wiley Rutan of near Crawfordsville, Wallace Rutan of Roachdale, Roy Rutan of Hendricks county and Raymond Rutan of Crawfordsville. One sister, Mrs. Millie Lewis, is deceased.
No arrangements have been made for the funeral, pending word from the son in California.
(continued on page 1, same paper and day)
Former Home Also Burns
A coincidence is seen in the fact that at approximately the same time the Cogle home burned, fire destroyed a bungalow type tenant house on the George Daggy farm, six miles southwest of Thorntown, occupied until a year ago by the Cogle family. The Bradley Cornett family was residing in the Daggy house and Mr. Cornett's invalid mother narrowly escaped death when the chair to which she
was confined caught fire. She was carried to safety, but all the family's household goods and personal belongings burned. Mr. Daggy carried insurance(?) on the house, but
there was no coverage on the contents.
