Trapped by flames which destroyed his farm home on Yellow Springs the charred body of Dennis Frederick Staley, about 80, was found by searchers in the cooling ruins several hours later. The body was found in the cellar.
The fire was discovered by Ms. M. Feaga, who notified her father. Mr. Feaga then summoned W. Shankle and both men rushed to the burning house.
The only explanation neighbors could give as to the cause of the blaze was that it originated in the kitchen stove.
The aged man might have attempted to re-kindle the fire resulting in an explosion.
