IN MEMORIAM
Rosa Denbow

In memory of our wife and
mother, Rosa Ann Denbow, who passed away one year ago
today, September 24, 1939
Oft and oft are hearts do wonder
To a grave not far away,
Where they laid our dear mother
Just one
year ago today.
When the evening shades are falling,
And we are sitting all along;
There comes to us a longing
If she could
only come back home.
Some may think we are not lonely
When at times they see us smile;
Little do they know the heart aches
That we suffered all the while.
We think of her in silence
And no eye can see us weep;
For many a silent tear is shed
While others
are asleep.
No one knows how much we miss her
Only those who have lost can
tell
Of that grief that's borne in silence
For the one we loved so well.
A happy home we once enjoyed
How sweet the memory still
Of death has left a loneliness
The world can never fill.
We mourn for you dear mother
But not with onward show;
For the hearts that mourn sincerely
Mourn silently and low.
Dear mother is gone but not forgotten
Neither will her memory fade
Sweetest thoughts will always linger
Round the
grave where she is laid.
Sleep on, dear mother
Sleep on and take thy rest
The ones who of you are thinking
And the ones
who loved you best.
One year ago you left us
One year ago today;
Oh how sad have been the hours,
How long have been the days.
Dear mother, thou hast left us
Yes, gone forever more
Thou hast gone to dwell with Jesus
On that
bright and peaceful shore.
Dear Lord we feel so lonely
Since dear mother went away;
Lord bless us in our weakness;
And never let us stray.
We can see her with the angels
In that beautiful land on high,
Standing face to face with Jesus
Where we'll
never say good bye.

FATAL FIRE
Blachly Family
Source:
Firemen say explosions that
killed four persons Thursday at a propane gas plant could have been touched off
by a spark from the automobile in which three of the victims were riding.
Mrs. Bonnie Blachly, 30 of
Witnesses reported seeing
mist which firemen said could have been caused by gas leaking from a loading
dock.
"I saw a fog enveloping
the whole area," said Edward C. Jastromb manager
of neighborhood furniture store. Jastromb said he saw
the Blachly's Volkswagon
"start into the fog. When the car got in the whole fog ignited."
Robert Blachly,
31 who was in the car with his wife and children, was burned seriously. William
A. Jones, operator of a service station a few hundred yards away said he found Blachly sitting on some batteries in the station shortly
after the first explosion.
"He didn't have any
clothes on," Jones said, "and he was bent over, not saying
anything."
The fourth person killed was
O. C. Williams, 46, service manager of Fuelgas Corp.
Three Fuelgas
buildings were destroyed by the 30 to 40 explosions, and Fire Chief Richard
Myers estimated damage at $250,000.
Police said they believed
propane gas leaked from a broken line on truck that had just been filled with
gas.
Firemen said the initial
blast could have been touched off by a spark from Blachly's
car or by an overhead system in a garage near the loading dock or from some
other source.
