Burns Were Fatal*
Charles Barton, who was badly burned last Thursday morning in a kerosene explosion, was called away about nineo'clock the next morning having inhaled some of the smoke and flames, which caused his death. His suffering for the few hours he survived after the accident was intense, but he bore it with wonderful patience and fortitude and in his lucid moments instructed the dear ones around his bedside of his wishes regarding the last sad rites, that he knew was coming and ws prepared to meet.
He chose his burial place, the songs he wished sung, asked that Rev. Keyes conduct the funeral service, and that W. H. Hanes conduct the Woodman ceremonies at the grave, and his wishes were carried out in every respect.
The Methodis church was crowded to overflowing with sympathising friends and acquaintances, and a long procession of automobiles followed to their last resting resting place in the Lebanon cemetery, where the beautiful Woodman burial ceremony was exemplified.
Those present at the funeral from a distance were, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Adams of Rago, T. W. Ferguson and his daughter Bonnie from Baldwin, and Jos. Barton and sister, Miss Basba Barton from Plains.
Words of sympathy at such an untimely death are truly unsatisfying, but the TIMES is sure it is voicing the sentiment of all when it extends our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved wife, fatherless children, and the many other close relatives.
