Mrs. S. Jensen Puts Out Blaze
Thomas Reilly burned to death at 8 o'clock this morning in his room at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stena Jensen, 122 First avenue N. E. when the oil stove he had started a fire in to take the chill off his room exploded setting fire to clothes hanging on the wall.
His charred body was found lying against the door of his room by Mrs. Jensen who put out the fire by throwing a pail of water on it.
Mrs. Jensen, in explaining the tragedy, stated that she heard Mr. Reilly get up from his bed shortly before 8 o'clock and presumed that he was dressing to come down stairs for breakfast. As she called him for breakfast, she smelled smoke and opened the door to find the room occupied by Mr. Reilly filled with smoke and flames. She was able to extinguish the flames by throwing a pail of water on them.
Mrs. Jensen stated that, in her opinion, the fire started in the room when, Mr. Reilly, presumably had attempted to refill the kerosene container on the stove with kerosene while the stove was lit. The position of Mr. Reilly's body, when found, indicated that he had fallen into the fire which spread to clothes on the wall.
Coroner D. E. Whitney stated this morning that an inquest would be unnecessary as it was evident that the tragedy was one of accidental burning.
Mr. Reilly had lived at the Jensen home, rooming and boarding there, for the past five years. He was unmarried and was an employee of the Northwest Paper Co.
Mr. Reilly was 68 years old. He was born in County Mayo, Ireland.
He is survived by five sisters, Mrs. Anna Loftus, San Francisco, Mrs. H. P. Dunn, Mrs. J. A. Bachelder, Mrs. Frank Lowey, Mrs. Harry O'Brien, and three brothers, P. M. Reilly, Seattle, Wash., W. C. Reilly, of Havre, Mont., and M. J. Reilly, of Detroit Lakes.
Funeral arrangements have not been completed as yet. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 30 April 1928, p. 14)
