THE FARMINGTON NEWS
FARMINGTON VAN BUREN COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1907
BURNED TO DEATH BY GASOLINE FLAMES
Terrible Death of Mrs. John Longley Wednesday Morning.
LITERALLY ROASTED ALIVE.
Mrs. Longley Was Preparing to Get Breakfast when the Explosion
Occurred.
A Farmington home was the scene of a horrifying
accident last Wednesday morning when Mrs. John Longley was so
severly burned by a gasoline explosion that she died from her
injuries a few hours later. It was one of those shocking
disasters which occasionally overtake mankind, and which sicken
with horror the friends who are left to contemplate the awful
results. The spontaneous manner in which the sympathies of the
entire community with the bereaved family was manifested was as a
ray of light in the gloom, showing as it did that men today are
not the selfish creatures they are sometimes pictured -- that
afflictions such as this make all men brothers.
A few minutes after five o'clock Wednesday morning Mr. and Mrs.
Longley arose as usual, and before dressing the unfortunate woman
went to the gasoline stove, to generate it preparatory to getting
breakfast. Just what happened is not certainly known, though it
is supposed that she lighted the burner to generate the gas. After
the burner became hot she noticed the tank was empty. She turned
off the valve and proceeded to fill the tank from an open pitcher,
and it is supposed that she spilled some of oil, which splashed on
the hot burner, and in an instant the entire room was ablaze. Her
husband rushed to her rescue, and finally subdued the flames by
wrapping her with bed clothes. Her suffering were something beyond
description. Her entire body was a mass of cooked flesh. In this
condition she walked to the Glicker home across the street, where
she was taken care of. Doctors Paisley and Neff were called and
did everthing possible to alleviate her sufferings, but nothing
could be done to save her life, and she died about 11:15 Wednesday
forenoon. Just after the explosion E. J. Miller was coming through
the school house yard. He heard some one yelling fire, and on
stooping down and looking under the trees he could see flames
issuing from a kitchen window. He rushed to the fire bell, in the
northeast corner of the school yard, and gave the alarm. The
people were aroused and the firemen were quickly on the scene. The
fire had gained such headway that it was with dificulty
extinguished. It was burning inside, under the roof, and the
thick, black smoke made it difficult to get close enough for
effective work. The house, located on South Second Street, was a
brick structure, with frame addition on the rear, and owned by
D.D. Simpson. It was very badly damaged. The loss is partly
covered by insurance. The unfortunate Longley family lost
practically everything they had in the world -- household goods,
clothes, everything. As soon as this fact became known the inate
goodness and kindness of heart of the Farmington people came to
the surface. In a short time paper was in circulation, soliciting
needed funds for the stricken family. In a short time $168.00 had
been contributed, beside other needed articles.
Miss Katherine Rose was born in Quincy, Ill., June 25, 1872. Her
mother died when she was but 3 days old and the first nine years
of her life were spent in a convent. She was then adopted by a
family named Collins, and lived with them until 16 years of age,
when she moved to Keokuk. She was married to J. S. Longley in
1891, at Keokuk, and they came to Farmington in 1892. Beside the
husband she is survived by five sons: George, Henry, Bonner,
Eugene and Paul. The funeral services were held at the Baptist
church at two o'clock Thursday afternoon and were attended by a
church full of citizens. Rev. S.E. Wilken officiated. The choir
sang "Come, Ye Disconsolate," "It Is Well With My Soul" and
"Asleep in Jesus." The casket was covered with beautiful flowers.
Interment in Farmington cemetery.
Card of Thanks
I desire to hereby express to my neighbors and to the citizens of the
city of Farmington my heartfelt thanks for their kindness and
generosity toward myself and family in our recent sore affliction.
Words cannot express our thankfulness. J. S. Longley.
