Burned to Death.
The Greenwood Democrat of
last week says: “On last Thurs
day Mrs. Jeff Webb, living near
Bloomer, was out hunting hen
nests in a sage patch near her
i residence, and while there
thought she would burn the grass
| off to prevent the hens from
hiding their nests. So she «et
fire to the grass and as' the wind
was blowing strongly she was
enveloped in the flames before
she could get away, and horribly
burned. Her husband came to
her rescue as quickly as possible
but too late to save her. She
lived only a short time after the
accident.
“Mrs. Webb was about 50
years of age and raised witnin
half a mile of the place where
she died. She was a Miss Berry
before her marriage to Mr.
Webb. Our informant tells us
she was a woman liked by every
body for her good deeds and
pleasant natur % and that besides
her husband she leaves several
children and a few small grand
children to mourn her death.
The neighborhood and surround
ing country deeply sympathize
with the bereaved relatives and
deplore the horrible accident that
befell this good woman. ’ ’
