BURNED PREPARING MEAL,
WOMAN DIES OF INJURIES

Mrs. Gertrude Patrick, of Westerville,
--------
Victim of Home Tragedy -
Dress Ignited by Flames from Open Stove -
Was 60 Years Old -
Head and Back Scorched by Fire.
--------

Uremic poisoning, resulting from burns suffered, Monday noon, when her clothing became ignited as she passed a gas stove in the dining-room of her home, while she was busy making preparations for the family luncheon, caused the death of Mrs. Emma Gertrude Patrick of Westerville, at Grant hospital, late Wednesday night.

Mrs. Patrick, in passing the stove, swung her dress against the flame and did not notice it until a few seconds later when she smelled something burning. Finding herself in flames, she rushed to the bathtub, but unable to quench the fire, she rushed to the yard and covered herself with snow.

Mrs. Patrick, who was the widow of the late C. H. Patrick, was 52 years of age. Little hope was held for her recovery after the accident. She was severely burned about the back and head.

FUNERAL SUNDAY

Surviving her are three sons, William F. Patrick, deputy county sheriff; Albert J Patrick, cashier First National bank at Westerville, and C. Merrill Patrick, assistant cashier of the same bank; two daughters, Misses Ruth B. and Edith M. Patrick, at home, and her aged father, Albert Jaycox, who made his home with the deceased.

The funeral services will be held at the residence, 60 West Main street, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The remains will be placed in the Westerville Mausoleum, in charge of Earl F. Keyes. Friends may view the body at the residence Saturday afternoon, from 2 until 3 o'clock.
