Prominent Woman Died
as Result of Burns
Standing in front of an open grate in her home at Shawboro,
Mrs. Sam Ferebee’s clothing caught fire and she died from her burns Friday
afternoon, Feb. 27, just 24 hours after the horrible accident. Not having the
presence of mind to smother the flames, Mrs. Ferebee ran from the house into
the yard. The flames enveloped her and inflicted vatal injuries before those at
hand could extinguish them with buckets of water.
Mrs. Ferebee was 50 years old
and is survived by nine children and 25 grandchildren.
