ELLAVILLE, Jan. 7. – Maddened by the flames which licked his body, Joe
Sears fought off the frantic attempts of his bride of three weeks to
extinguish the fire, and died in agony several hours later. Clad only
in a nightshirt, Mr. Sears was standing in front of an open fire
Saturday night before retiring when the garment caught, and in a moment
was a mass of flames.
His wife, who was in the room at the time, ran screaming to his
assistance. So frightened was he, however, that she could do nothing,
and the garment burned up, while he was ineffectually trying to put it
out. Before anybody else could be summoned, great patches of skin had
been burned off.
He died at 6 o’clock this morning, medical attention throughout the
night being of no avail. He was the only son of Dr. W. D. Sears, a
prominent physician of Ellaville. He had been married only three weeks.
