Lasley At Her Home Daughter of Noah Huddle Mistakes Gasoline for Coal oil House Burns to Ground As the result of a gasoline explosion Sunday afternoon on the Evert Lasley farm nearly five miles east and south of Braddyville, Mrs. Lasley is dead, leaving a husband and two year old child and the house burned down. At about 3:30 Sunday afternoon, while the family and Mrs. Lasley's two brothers were enjoying the shade of a tree in the back yard of their farm home, just below the state line, south of where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Huddle live, Mrs. Lasley went into the house to light the fire in the range in the kitchen. The family heard an explosion, and knew something serious had happened, so rushed into the house. The brother Clarence had the presence of mind to grab the blanket they had been lying on under the tree. As they rushed into the house, the smoke and flames were coming out the back door so they could hardly see, and in some way the blanket was lost, someone stepping on it, so in the smoke and excitement it could not be found. The brother Clarence rushed to his sister, whose clothing was afire from the waist up and tried to put the fire out. He himself caught afire and was strangled by the smoke and flames, until he fell to the floor, and realized he must get out at once to save himself, so jumped out of the kitchen window, breaking a hole through the screen as he did so. The husband continued to attempt rescue of his wife and finally got her out, being badly burned while doing so. He does not know just how it happened, as the time was short. From the nature of his burns about the back of the neck and shoulders, it is believed that he lifted his wife by having her put her arms about his neck, and thus carried her to safety. But meanwhile Mrs. Lasley had been so severely burned, her death seemed imminent and she was carried to the neighbors. Frank Thompsons house [where she remained conscious to the] last, even telling them she did not think the baby had better be brought to see her, as it might frighten the child. She breathed her last at about five o'clock. The best of care was meanwhile necessary for the brother Clarence Huddle, who was so blistered that the application of cloths and oil were necessary over a large part of his body. The husband also needed caring for. The house burned to the ground without so much as securing clothing for those whose clothing had been burned which they wore, it being necessary to send to Braddyville for clothing to wear. The day before Mr. and Mrs. Lasley and child had been to Hopkins, purchasing a five-gallon can of gasoline. It is thought that she made the mistake of using some of this, instead of coal oil, which she had always used in starting fires, or perhaps had used from a can that had been used to wash the car when changing the oil a short time before, and this may have had gasoline in it. The funeral was held Monday afternoon, from the Noah Huddle home, attended by many sympathizing friends and conducted by the Free Methodist pastor Rev. H. M . Williamson, assisted by Rev. Cox, interment being in Shearer cemetery nearby. Lela Blanche Huddle Lasley was born Jan. 16, 1896, being the eldest of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Huddle. She was married Feb. 15th, 1917 to Evert Lasley, and leaves a small son, Evert Hershel Lasley, two and a half years of age, besides three brothers, Paul, Clarence and Raymond Huddle and two sisters at the parental home, Naomi and Anna Huddle. The entire community sympathizes with these relatives in their great loss.
