Boatright of Aurora, was fatally burned yesterday when her clothing caught fire from an open fireplace in her home, death resulting this morning, about twenty-four hours after the deplorable accident. Interment will be made tomorrow in the Aurora Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Boatright, both past 80 years of age, lived alone and were finishing their breakfast when the latter went from the kitchen into the living room and soon was heard screaming for help. Her husband ran to her as quickly as possible and found her clothing all aflame; he threw a bucket of water on her and then finished smothering out the flames with his hands, but not before the unfortunate old lady's body had been so badly burned that she never regained consciousness fully enough to tell how it all happened. One theory is that she may have fainted and fallen in the fire, while another is that possibly her skirts were drawn into it as she stood before or passed by the fireplace. Mr. Boatright's hands and arms were severely burned in his efforts to extinguish his wife's blazing garments. The Boatright's were among the pioneer settlers of this part of Arkansas and had resided many years at Aurora, where Mr. Boatright worked as a blacksmith. Mrs. Boatright was a daughter of "Uncle Bobbie" Lee, one of the grand old men of this county in its early days and who was said to have been a close lineal descendant of General Robert E. Lee. Besides her husband she is survived by the following children: Robert Boatright of Johnson, Mrs. William Peters of Morris, Okla., Ed Boatright of Braggs, Okla., and Walter Boatright of Aurora.
