Burned to Death in Mill Village
Home Wednesday.
Mrs. Robert Threatt met a horrible
death at her home in the village of
the Lancaster Cotton Mill last Wednesday.
It seems that she was alone
in the house all morning, her husband
and children being at work in
the mill and it was through a neighbor
who happened to stop by to see
Mrs. Threatt, that her bodv wan
found before the return of her family
for dinner at noon. The visitor,
receiving no response after several
knocks at the door, opened It to find
the house full of smoke. She distinguished
also the odor of burning
flesh. Calling a man who was passing
by at the time, the two soon
found the body of Mrs. Threatt lying
on the kitchen floor about a fool
from the stove. It was burned almost
beyond recognition.
The unfortunate woman's clothing
evidently caught from the fire she
