Gazette of last week says: This community was shocked Tuesday morning to learn that Mrs. Mary Rathbun, wife of F. E. Rathbun, of Walton township, was burned to death Monday evening. About seven o’clock p. m. Monday, as Mr. Rathbun was finishing feeding his stock he saw a bright light in the house and his wife immediately ran out doors with her clothing on fire. He tried to catch her and put her in a tub of water by the house, but she eluded him until she reached the door again when her oldest son stopped her and Mr. Rathbun threw a quilt over her and tore the burning clothing away. She was so badly burned that she died in about five hours. Dr. Catudal was summoned, but owing to the distance from town, seventeen miles, did not arrive until she was dead. The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp and Mr. Rathbun and the children had great trouble in extinguishing the fire in the house, the bed and other articles being ablaze. Mrs. Rathbun was about 42 years old. She leaves a husband and three sons, from 8 to 15 years of [age]. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Scott of Natona, Aurora church in the east part of the county, and interment made in Aurora cemetery on Wednesday. In their terrible affliction Mr. Rathbun and his sons have the deep sympathy of the entire community.
