Mrs. Everett Lasley [Lela Blanche Huddle] was fatally burned Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock. She was starting a fire in the kitchen range and poured coal oil on live coals that were still in the range. The can had formerly contained gasoline and exploded, throwing the burning oil over Mrs. Lasley and the entire room. Her husband and brother were badly burned trying to save her. She died about 5 o'clock Sunday evening. Besides her husband she leaves a 2-year-old baby, parents, brothers and sisters. The house and contents burned also.

BURNED TO DEATH STARTING A FIRE

Used Kerosene to Build a Fire That Causes Explosion and Mrs. Emmet Lasley Loses Her Life. Husband Also Is Severely Burned

Again we are called upon to chronicle a story as old as the ages, that of a person being burned to death by starting a fire with coal oil. The last victim to pay the awful toll was that of Mrs. Emmet [Everett] Lasley [Lela Blanche Huddle], residing on Route 5 out of Bedford.

This last sad tragedy resulted on Sunday last at the Lasley home, southwest of Bedford. The noon hour had arrived and Mrs Lasley in an effort to make a quick fire to get the noonday meal, picked up the coal oil can and started to quicken a slow fire. With a boom that was heard for some distance, the oilcan exploded and scattered its burning contents all over the clothing of Mrs. Lasley. With piercing and heart rending screams, the unfortunate woman rushed out into the yard, frantic with fear and pains. Her husband and her brother rushed to her assistance and did everything in their power to squelch the flames but could not lull the fire demon before it had accomplished its awful purpose and the unfortunate woman died a few minutes later. Mr. Lasley, the husband of the fire victim, was terribly burned in his efforts to save the life of his wife, and is reported now in a critical condition. Her brother was also burned but able to be about.

In the men's wild desire to save the life of the unfortunate woman, no thought was given to the cause of the fire and, when turning to look at the house, were horrified to see their home burn to the ground with all its contents, and they powerless to try to check it.

Mr. and Mrs. Lasley were well known to many of the citizens of Bedford, and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to the grief stricken husband and brother, in their loss, which is irreparable, and never to be forgotten to their dying day.

Since the above was written, a conflicting story is reported here, the claim being made, that the unfortunate woman had filled a coal oil stove with gasoline instead of kerosene, and when the fire was lighted, the explosion occurred as above noted. Just which of the two stories are correct we cannot as yet state, and it would not change the result, and the moral of it all, is that one cannot be too careful in the handling of these combustible oils.

Explosion Kills Mrs. E. Lasley At Her Home

Daughter of Noah Huddle Mistakes Gasoline for Coal oil House Burns to Ground

As the result of a gasoline explosion Sunday afternoon on the Evert Lasley farm nearly five miles east and south of Braddyville, Mrs. Lasley is dead, leaving a husband and two year old child and the house burned down.

At about 3:30 Sunday afternoon, while the family and Mrs. Lasley's two brothers were enjoying the shade of a tree in the back yard of their farm home, just below the state line, south of where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Huddle live, Mrs. Lasley went into the house to light the fire in the range in the kitchen. The family heard an explosion, and knew something serious had happened, so rushed into the house. The brother Clarence had the presence of mind to grab the blanket they had been lying on under the tree. As they rushed into the house, the smoke and flames were coming out the back door so they could hardly see, and in some way the blanket was lost, someone stepping on it, so in the smoke and excitement it could not be found. The brother Clarence rushed to his sister, whose clothing was afire from the waist up and tried to put the fire out. He himself caught afire and was strangled by the smoke and flames, until he fell to the floor, and realized he must get out at once to save himself, so jumped out of the kitchen window, breaking a hole through the screen as he did so.

The husband continued to attempt rescue of his wife and finally got her out, being badly burned while doing so. He does not know just how it happened, as the time was short. From the nature of his burns about the back of the neck and shoulders, it is believed that he lifted his wife by having her put her arms about his neck, and thus carried her to safety.

But meanwhile Mrs. Lasley had been so severely burned, her death seemed imminent and she was carried to the neighbors. Frank Thompsons house [where she remained conscious to the] last, even telling them she did not think the baby had better be brought to see her, as it might frighten the child. She breathed her last at about five o'clock.

The best of care was meanwhile necessary for the brother Clarence Huddle, who was so blistered that the application of cloths and oil were necessary over a large part of his body. The husband also needed caring for. The house burned to the ground without so much as securing clothing for those whose clothing had been burned which they wore, it being necessary to send to Braddyville for clothing to wear.

The day before Mr. and Mrs. Lasley and child had been to Hopkins, purchasing a five-gallon can of gasoline. It is thought that she made the mistake of using some of this, instead of coal oil, which she had always used in starting fires, or perhaps had used from a can that had been used to wash the car when changing the oil a short time before, and this may have had gasoline in it.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon, from the Noah Huddle home, attended by many sympathizing friends and conducted by the Free Methodist pastor Rev. H. M . Williamson, assisted by Rev. Cox, interment being in Shearer cemetery nearby.

Lela Blanche Huddle Lasley was born Jan. 16, 1896, being the eldest of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Huddle. She was married Feb. 15th, 1917 to Evert Lasley, and leaves a small son, Evert Hershel Lasley, two and a half years of age, besides three brothers, Paul, Clarence and Raymond Huddle and two sisters at the parental home, Naomi and Anna Huddle. The entire community sympathizes with these relatives in their great loss.

Another aged pilgrim left this earth for the other world, when Mrs. Sarah Jane Laub passed away Sunday morning at 9:30 o’clock. Death occurred at the family home in Clarinda, where the deceased had been a patient sufferer since the first week in May. Her demise was due to old age and complication of diseases. Sarah Jane Shearer was born in Nodaway County, Missouri, Nov. 24, 1842 and at her death was 74 years, 8 months and 11 days of age. She came to Page County when quite young, accompanying her grandparents with whom she made her home until March 6, 1860, when she became the life partner of Henry Laub, who survives her. To the union thirteen children were born, one of whom died in infancy. The remaining ones she brought up the best a mother could, eight of whom survive, three of them were present at the funeral service. These were Mrs. Rosena Davison of Elberton, Washington; Mrs. [Sarah] Mabel Harsh of Bedford and George Laub of Braddyville. As a bride, her first home was a little log cabin in Buchanan Township, Page County, where her husband kept bachelor quarters before their marriage. It contained only homemade furnishings. When the civil war was declared the husband joined the recruits, she managing the home and crops in his absence, keeping three little ones and herself the best she could. They occupied the same farm in Buchanan Township for fifty years. About seven years ago decided to retire and moved to Clarinda, locating at the corner of seventeenth and Garfield streets. The deceased was a good neighbor with many friends. She has been a member of the Baptist church about forty years, joining the primitive organization when quite young. The following are the surviving children: Charles of Story, Wyoming; George of Braddyville; [Ira] Dale of Metiskow, [Alberta] Canada; Mrs. [Iva] Pearl Clayton of Jerome, Idaho; Mrs. Effie Robison of Portersville, California; Mrs. Rosena [Helen]  Davison of Elberton, Washington; Mrs. Talitha [Jane] Jenrick of Sheridan, Wyoming; and Mrs. [Sarah] Mabel Harsh of Bedford, Iowa.

Emma Laub

Emma Elvessie McFarland, daughter of Wm and Caroline McFarland, was born on a farm west of Siam, in Page County, Iowa, Oct 8, 1869, and departed this life at Des Moines, Iowa, March 17, 1943, age 73 years, 5 months and 9 days.

She was born and reared in Page county and lived there until the year 1925 at which time she came to live with her only daughter and son-in-law, Chaplain and Mrs. Ivo G Randels, and consequently has moved about with them as they served the churches in Iowa and Arkansas.

On Oct 25, 1892, she was united in marriage to Wm Earnest Laub, who preceded her in death 39 years ago. To this union two children were born, Archie Laub of Coin, Iowa, and Mrs. Flo Randels of 10550-57th Des Moines, Iowa.

She confessed her faith in her Lord and Saviour and was baptized in the Christian church in Siam during the pastorate of the Rev. Abner Johnson. Her faith was always warm and living. And as long as she was able she was faithful in her attendance at Sunday school and church services.

Her life was a living exemplification of motherly sacrifice and loving labors that extended from children to grandchildren. She was an ideal mother-in-law, never finding fault nor interfering with the running of the home in which she was a welcome and loving guest for almost 18 years. Her voluntary taking over of part of the duties of homemaking made it possible for her daughter Flo to assist her husband in his pastoral work.

She had been in failing health for more than a year, and for the last 3 ½ months was bedfast. She was very patient in her illness and gave as little trouble as possible. She enjoyed the many visits of her friends and relatives who came out of respect and affection in her last days. The many letters and cards, which came in such large numbers, always refreshed her spirit.

Those who survive her are a daughter, Mrs. Flo Randels, and son-in-law, Chaplain Ivo G. Randels of Des Moines, Ia; a son, Archie Laub, and daughter-in-law, Hallie Laub, of Coin, Ia; three grandsons, Wendell, Hubert and Harmon Randels of Des Moines, Ia; a sister, Mrs. I B Hutchinson of New Market, Ia; two brothers, William McFarland of Blanchard, Ia, and Milton McFarland of Lyons, Kans, besides many other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were conducted at Walker's Funeral Home at 2:30 on Saturday, March 20, 1943, by Ellsworth L Woods, pastor of the Clarinda Church of Christ. Music was provided by Mr and Mrs Stone. Interment was in the Shearer cemetery.
