Rule Cold Kills Osage Woman, 70
OSAGE, IOWA - Mrs. Ralph Burnham, 70, was found at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning by a family friend just outside the door of her near-new home at Osage. She froze to death, according to Mitchell County Medical Examiner Dr. L. A. Doyle.
Mrs. Burnham had apparently stepped out about 8 p.m. Monday night to sweep the snow from her steps, when she fell and was unable to get up. Temperatures dropped to -18. She was clad only in a housecoat and slippers.
--- Surgery ---
Mrs. Burnham had undergone hip surgery last summer where her hip socket was replaced.
She lived alone since the death of her husband on December 31. Mrs. Burnham's husband was a retired insurance agent and chairman of the board of the Osage Home Savings and Loan Association at the time of his death.
The body was found by Arnold Warren, a former business associate of her husband, who was also a family friend.
Services are pending at the Champion Funeral Home in Osage. Mrs. Burnham is survived by her sister, Mrs. Dorothy Snyder, of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
