TWO DIE AS HOME BURNS - Ohio Mother and Daughter, 3,
Lose Lives; Former's Mother Hurt.
PRAIRIE DEPOT, O., July 18, -
Mrs. Ira Pollard, 31 and daughter, Ruth Pollard,
3, residents of Toledo died near here early today when they
were trapped in their burning home. Mrs. Rosa
Sackman, the dead woman's mother, was burned severely.
Mr. Pollard arose about 5:30 and started a fire
in teh kitchen stove. He went to the barn to do the
morning work. Mrs. Sackman, who slept on the
first floor arose to get breakfast. She discovered the
house aflame. As she rushed through the kitchen to
call help, her hair and dress were ignited. Pollard's
first warning of the fire was when he saw Mrs. Sackman
running toward the barn with her clothing burning.
He rushed to the house and tried to rescue his wife and
daughter, who were sleeping upstairs. The flames beat
him back when he placed a ladder to a window. It is
believed the fire was caused by a defective flue.
Mr. Pollard, nearly crazed when his rescue attempts
failed, was taken to a neighbor's home. Mrs.
Sackman's burns are said to be serious. |
