Thomasville, Feb. 7—When Mrs. A.L. Culler had finished preparing her dinner and set it on the table Saturday at noon to await the arrival of her husband from the factory at High Point, she was seized with a fainting spell, falling to the floor with her head in the fire.
She remained in this position until Mr. Culler arrived and pulled her out. Her hair was burned from the head and her scalp was in a crisp. A 7-year-old child was playing about the home on the outside of the house and knew nothing of what was transpiring inside until his father called him.
Mrs. Culler was unconscious and remained so for many hours. Dr. C.H. Phillips, a local physician, was called and advised her removal to the High Point Hospital, which was done quickly. The family resides at their home two miles north of Thomasville. Mrs. Culler has suffered such attacks many times, it is learned, but none of them until this were attended with serious results.
