and was gone. The fire was put out but the sorrow can never be changed in this world. Gods will must be endured till the end
of time the mystery of life will then be lifted. Newspaper Article "Sixteen Month Old Child Dies of Suffocation" Glen, the 16 month old son of Mr and Mrs Simion (Simeon) Ellison of West Candor, dies of suffocation
Tuesday afternoon at their home on the back road, north of the West Candor Railroad Station. The story is a sad one and happened in an unusual manner. Mrs Ellison was doing the family washing using a
machine driven by a gasoline engine. The engine ran out of gas. She went to the supply can and found this contained only a
small amount, about a teacupful. She emptied this into another can used to keep kerosene in, and set it back in its place.
She then went to the store on the main road to get some more gas, leaving the baby in the crib, and a six year old daughter
Lalie, who had suffered a broken arm about 2 weeks before upstairs. While the mother was gone Lalie came downstairs and found
the fire in the stove was out. She started to rebuild it, using only one hand as the other was in a sling. She put some kindling
in the stove and then took the kerosene can and poured some of its contents on which she supposed was kerosene, of course
there was an explosion and the remaining portion in the can took fire. She started to carry the can outdoors, going through
the hallway, or cloak room, where clothing was hanging. The flames set fire to the clothing. She then ran to tell her mother
leaving the baby in the crib. The house was soon filled with smoke and doubtless the baby began to cry and drew large quantities
of smoke into its lungs. Mrs Ellison hastened home as soon as possible and ran in and grabbed the baby and took it out of
doors and endeavored to resusetate it, but to no avail. It was dead. Other neighbors learned of the appalling disaster and
rushed to the home and put the fire out. It had done considerable damage, burning out the door casing and through the ceiling
into the second story. The funeral of the child will be held at the home on Friday. The father and mother and one sister and
a half - brother survived. Jan 12 Today we layed baby Glen away in Cemetery. Edd and Mable and Martha came up for the funeral Richard
