"One of the saddest accidents and deaths ever happening in this place occurred on last Saturday morning. The distressing circumstances attending an awful burning wrung the hearts of this community. The victim was Mrs. Alma Hake, widow of G. H. Hake and a daughter of Leander Hummelbaugh of this place.
The recent life of Mrs. Hake had been a sad one. Shortly after her marriage several years ago her husband was taken ill with typhoid fever and died. The young wife returned to her father's home, becoming a nurse and endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact by a faithfulness and kindness, winning her many friends who admired and esteemed her.
Dr. H. M. Hartman was summoned. Mrs. Hake was found terribly burned. She was wrapped in cotton and removed to her home on Washington street. Dr. Dickson was called in consultation. Everthing was done to allay her suffering. Fears were entertained from the start that flames had been inhaled. Mrs. Hake recovered consciousness before the end and bore her suffering with remarkable fortitude and patience, death ensuing about two o'clock in the afternoon.
The funeral was held on Monday morning. Rev. C. E. Snoke, assisted by Rev. S. L. Rice, conducting the service. Mrs. Hake being a devoted member of the U. B. Church. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery."
