One of the most tragic accidents of its kind in this community occurred Monday evening. John Burow, Jr., the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Burow of Anthon was making a chemical experiment in the basement of his home and caused a chemical explosion. Dr. F.P. Cauley of Anthon, a deputy coroner, said the Burow boy, a senior student in the Anthon High School was experimenting with explosives in his home laboratory. Gunpowder, which the boy was using evidently, became ignited, causing the explosion. The boy was alone in the basement at the time and the parents were upstairs in the living rooms of the home. The blast broke windows in the basement where he was working and drove bits of glass and steel into the Burow boy's body. Following the blast the lad walked unaided several blocks to Dr. Cauley's office where he collapsed due to loss of blood. John, Jr. had been studying chemistry through a correspondence course. The lad passed away at an early hour Tuesday morning due to internal bleeding and shock. The body was brought to the Wilson-Hull Funeral Home and later removed to the home of the parents in Anthon. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist Church in Anthon this afternoon (Thursday) in charge of Rev. Hannan, pastor of the Assembly of God. Interment will be made in Oak Hill Cemetery, Anthon.
