Obituary - Marie Ollerman Schroeder
Scribner News
November 3, 1905
Page 5, Col. 3
Mrs. August Schroeder met with a terrible accident at her home in the eastern part of town Monday noon which resulted in her death about 12:30 yesterday morning. Mrs. Schroeder was engaged in heating a can of turpentine and floor wax on the stove. The fluid caught a blaze. She picked up the can with her apron and started to carry it out doors. At the door the blaze shot up and set her clothing on fire. Her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Reetz, tried to smother the flames with a blanket, but the fire was not extinguished until most of the clothing was burned from the body. Mrs. Schroeder fell down exhausted out doors. She was taken into the house and medical aid was summoned at once. It was found that two-thirds of her body was charred. Everything possible was done for her, but she lingered in agony until her death. Funeral services will be held from the Congregational church Saturday afternoon, services beginning at the house at 1 o'clock.
