Oelwein Daily Register, Thur., 10 Feb. 1949.

Monona Woman Burned To Death.

An 85 year-old Monona woman burned to death at her home yesterday, apparently the victim of a fire which started when a head-shawl she was wearing caught fire from a half-open stove lid.

Her son, who had left Mrs. Anna Berns at 10:30 a.m., to go to the post-office, discovered his mother at 11:00 a.m., when he returned.

Sheriff Forrest Fisher said today he was called when her son found a passageway leading to the cellar on fire. Later, he saw his mother huddled in a heap at the foot of the stairs.

Sheriff Fisher said Berns told him his mother was beginning to prepare lunch when he left for the post-office.
