Oestreich, 36, died in the Ritzville hospital as a result of burns received in an accident last Wednesday evening. There were no witnesses to the accident which claimed the life of this Ritzville young father, but evidence found at the scene of the tragedy gives a fair description of what happend. He was faatally burned the evening of Sept. 10 at the Rocky Ford school building 14 miles from Ritzville when he attempted to put gasoline into a lantern. Mr. Oestreich was employed by the local school district as a bus driver and was accustomed to remaining at the end of his school route each evening after delivering his bus load of students. The night of the accident he lighted his gas light and started to prepare his evening meal. Evidently the lanter went out for lack of fuel and he started to fill it when there was an explosion which saturated his clothing with burning gasoline. He began to run for the garage several hundred feet away where a fire extingquisher was found laying and as he ran, he tore clothes from his body and rolled to extinquish the flames. Stark evidence of the struggle lay strewn from the school house to the garage. Suffereing from terrible burns---- he managed to dress himself in other clothes and drove the school bus 14 miles to the Ritzville hospital. He told the nurse that his gas lantern had exploded and asked that help go out to put out the fire. His burns were so serious that the doctors saw little hope for recovery, but did everything possible to ease his suffering. Leroy had lived his entire life in the vicinity of Ritzville since his birth in 1911. At the age of 24 he married Erma Schneider and to this union three children were born. He is survived by his wife. Mrs. Erma Oestreich; a son, Donald and a daughter, Darlene; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. J Oestreich, one brother and one sister. Funeral services were conducted from the local Church of the Nazarene Thursday, Sept 11, at 1:30 p.m. with the Rev. Raymond Griffith officiating. Burial was in the Ritzville Memorial cemetery. Pallbearers were Fred Jingling, Ivan Schafter, Oscar Anderson, Paul Fickle, Otto Anderson and Rudy Koch. Ritzville Journ Times September 11, 1947 Sue Gardner & gapwork90
