Mrs. Mary Holshouser, wife of the late Maxwell Holshouser, died Sunday at 1 o’clock at ther home in Rockwell, death being caused by burns she received Friday night.
Mrs. Holshouser was alone in her bed room when her clothing caught from an open fireplace and when her step-granddaughter, Mrs. Louis Sides, was attracted to the room by her screams, she found her wrapped in flames.
Mrs. Holshouser, since the death of her husband two years ago, made her home with her step-granddaughter, Mrs. Louis Sides of Rockwell. The deceased was 72 years of age and was a daughter of the late Charles Holshouser and was a sister of the late Dr. A.R. Holshouser of Rockwell, who was killed about seven years ago in a wreck on the Gold Hill Road two miles south of Salisbury. She was a highly respected woman. She was a member of Bethany Reformed Church, Crescent, N.C., where the funeral was held Monday, conducted by her pastor, Rev. H.A.M. Holshouser.
Mrs. Holshouser was an aunt of G.A. Fisher of Tribune Street.
