MACKEY, Mrs. C. B.
MRS C.B. MACKEY DIES
Was a Victim of Kerosene Explosion Recently
Mrs. C.B. Mackey, of Amor, passed away at her home near that place on Tuesday evening, after nearly four weeks of intense suffering.
Four weeks ago today Mrs. Mackey was at the home of her father, Hans Jorgenson, when her brother poured kerosene over a fire out of a three gallon can. The flames reached to the can, the kerosene exploded, burning both of them. The young man was not badly burned and soon recovered, but Mrs. Mackey was considered in a serious condition from the first, and it would seem that her life was prolonged through these weeks of suffering because she was a woman of grit and would not give up. The best medical aid was procured and all that loving hands could do was done in an effort to relieve her of the pain and save her life. During the last week hopes were entertained for her recovery, but it was not to be, and she passed away Tuesday night.
Mrs. C.B. Mackey, formerly Miss Annie Jorgenson, lacked one month of being twenty-one years of age. She came out here with her parents about three years ago, and on November 3, 1909, was united in marriage to C.B. Mackey, a prosperous young farmer near Armor. Of this union one child was born, which with the bereaved husband survives. At the time of the accident this child was in the room where the explosion occurred, but received only a slight burn. There are also left to mourn her demise, her parents, her brothers, and her sisters, Mrs. Rosenberg and Mrs. Buchholz.
The funeral was held here on Friday at 10 o'clock, services being held at the home of M.T. Rosenberg Rev. E.S. Eidesvik, pastor of the Lutheran church officiating. The interment will be at the Bowman cemetery in the afternoon of that day.
The bereaved husband and sisters have the sympathy of the people of Bowman county in this sad bereavement. --Bowman Enterprise.
