Mary Gaston, an elderly colored woman who lived in the alley back of the McCracken Clothing Store, was so badly burned Monday afternoon from an explosion of a kerosene oil can while kindling a fire, that she died about two hours later at the Haywood County hospital.
She was a good cook and had lived here many years, having formerly lived at Morganton.
