| Aged Woman Burned
Mrs. Lucinda Sibley Suffers Death in the Burning of Her Cottagge at East Douglass. Mrs. Lucinda P. Sibley, aged 70 years, was burned to death yesterday. Her cottage was discovered to be in flames, and later her bones were found in the runs. Samuel Sibley Post, G. A. R., was named for her husband, who was killed in the war. The theory is that Mrs. Sibley attempted to light a lamp and either fainted or had a shock, fell back on her bed, and dropped the lamp, which immediately set her room on fire. |
