Valentine suffered severe burns when a fire broke out in a barn. He died as a result of the burns. Obituary: HIS SUFFERING ENDED Valentine Gaumer Succombs to His Wounds After Eight Long Weeks of Untold Agony The sudden, yet expected news of the death of Valentine Gaumer who was frightfully burned on the evening of October 20th [1900], spread over our town yesterday morning as our citizens were going to their various avocations of life, he having died at 11:40 p.m. Friday, and as the message passed from ear to ear, faces were sobered and a gloom over shadowed the sympathetic, as the deceased, since the evening of his fatal misfortune, has been the subject of heart felt pity, and while all realized that the poor fellow had passed out and beyond all suffering and pain, the news of his untimely death was received with sorrow. Many of the NEWS-UNION readers will remember reading of the fire in which Mr. Gaumer was burned and caused the destruction of two barns on the evening of October 20, 1900. The fire was originated by the upsetting of a lantern in Mr. Gaumer's barn, while the deceased was feeding his team of mules. The hay was soon on fire and in an instant the building was a mass of flames. Mr. Gaumer successfully got the mules out of the burning building and it was while trying to save a cow from the flames that he was most frightfully burned especially on his body, having falllen into the burning hay. Since that hour Drs. Hasty and Carver have done all that medical science could do for the sufferer and in fact the wounds were healing nicely and had it not been for the presence of dropsy, which caused death, Mr. Gaumer would have no doubt been able to recover. Funeral services will be held in the Methodist Episcopal church in Hopeville today at 11:30 o'clock. The funeral train will leave the residence for Hopeville prompltly at 10 o'clock. The services will be conducted by Rev. J.W. Bott, of Murray. Interment will be made in the Hopeville cemetery. The wife[Jessie Litsey], parents, brothers and sisters and all mourning relatives have the sympathy of our people.
