GASOLINE BURNS FATAL
TO BRIDGEWATER WOMAN

Mistaking gasoline for water, Mrs. Elmer Glick Miller, forty-two, wife of well-known Bridgewater farmer and livestock dealer, filled the teakettle and places it on the kitchen stove yesterday morning. In a few minutes there was an explosion and Mrs. Miller was enveloped in flames. She died a few hours later at Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg.

Mrs. Miller had the presence of mind to tear her flaming clothing from her body and wrap up in a blanket. She then telephoned a physician. Her burns, however, were too severe and she died shortly after reaching the hospital.

Buckets of gasoline and water stood side by side on the Miller porch, and Mrs. Miller picked up the wrong one.

She is survived by her husband and two children. She had a wide family connection in Rockingham and Augusta Counties. Funeral services will be held at Bridgewater Friday
