Terribly Burned

Mrs Wm Bell of Tweedside Badly Injured--Clothing Caught Fire.

Harvey Station, York Co., May 1 -- A terrible occurrence was reported from Tweedside, this county, yesterday. While Mrs William Bell was attending to her household about noon, her clothing caught fire from the stove.

She made every effort to extinguish the blaze, but was unsuccessful. In great fright she rushed out of the house, seeking the aid of her husband, who was at work in the field close by. Attracted by her cries, he was horrified to find his wife enveloped in flames. With difficulty he got the fire put out, but not before most of his wife's clothing was burned off.

Dr. Keith was sent for and attended at once. He found the unfortunate woman in a terrible condition, being burned nearly all over the body. He did all he could to relieve her suffering, but very little hope of her recovery is entertained.

They had the following children:
181 i. George Louis "Louie" Bell
182 ii. Mary Jane Agnes "Aggie" Bell
183 iii. Margaret Ellen Bell

He second married Cora. Born 12 May in Northern NB.
