BELLVILLE FARMER FALLS WHILE CARRYING LAMP, DIES OF BURNS
Edwin McMasters Stanton Leedy stumbled and fell while carrying a kersoene lamp in his home. The kerosene from the broken lamp sprayed his clothing. The flames which ignited his garments and the carpet were extinguished by his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Leedy, who heard his cries. He was rushed to Mansfield General Hospital where he died eight hours later.
