Miss Bertha May Kingsbory, a
Handsome and Popular Hor-
walk Younp’ Woman, Dias
Alone In Terrible Apony-
Her Grandmother Passed
Away in a Similiar Manner
at theFamily Home in West-
port Avenue—Strange to Re-
late the House was Not Des-
troyed
~A piteousiy horrible death by fire
overtook Miss Bertha May Kingsbury,
a well-known and comely Norwalk
young lady, yesterday afternoon, at
her home on the old Saugatuck road.
The details are sad in every particu-
lar, but fortunately the victim's suf-
ferings lasted but a very few moments.
The unremitting flames leaped and
surged about the. upper portion of her
body so fiercely that when they finally
left her form lifeless. there was prac-
tically not a visage of her face left.
The terrible burns did not extend be-
low her waist and Dr. J. W. File, of
Saugatuck. who was called after the
deplorable accident, expressed the
opinion that death had been caused by
inhalation of the flames.
Miss Kingsbury fought desperately
against the fiery tongues of flames
which had enveloped her, and travel-
tod probably a hundred feet in her
death struggles. finally writhing on
the grass, beside the road, where she
passed away.
The exact manner in which the fa-
tality occurred will never be known.
for Miss Kingsbury was alone in the
house when her clothing took tire. The
blaze communicated to a sofa and to
the carpet, and that pulls did not
burn down it
A short time before the accident the
young woman was in a happy- frame
of mind. and was (batting with a
friend, Mrs, Jessa Brundage, who as
she was pass ,8. stopped. Mrs. Brun-
dage invited er to accompany her to
Norwalk, but Miss Kihgsbury replied
that she was cooking something for
supper and consequently could not.
Within a few moments after Ml‘B.
— Brundagc left the young woman was
dead, for Mrs. Brundage had driven
but a short distance when she, passed
a team driven by Charles Benton, a
Saugatuck marketman. As Mr. Bou-
ton reached Mrs. Klugsbury‘s home.
she lay dead alongside the road,
Miss‘ Kingsbury resided with her
InOthcr. Mrs. .losc thine Kingsbury, and
her aunt, Miss E vina Kcyser. and at
the time of tile accident those women
were at their work at the Snugatuck
button iiitiOl'). Mr. Boutop drove
qdickly to the (artery and returned
with the mother who was overcome
with grief,
Mrs, Klngsbury was seen at her
home this morning by n Sentinel re-
porter, to whom she gave hcr views
of the manner her daughter met
death. She is prtistruted over the oc-
currence and her recitation of the
facts was frequently punctuated with
Hobs.
She stated that her daughter had
been cooking some meat in a pot. anti
is of the opinion that when slit.- r0-
turned to the house after her con-
versation with Mrs. Bruntlnge. found
the pot in flames. To save the house
from destruction. she picked up the
pot and hurled it out of doors, where
it Wits found after the accident.
During this operation it is supposed
that the young woman's clothing took
fire about her breast and then in her
struggles the sofa ignited in some
manner. From appearances she aban-
doned the thought of danger to her—
self in her efforts to keep the house
from burning.
Finally she rushed through the hall-
ways and through the. front. door of the
hours into the yard, screaming in ter-
ror. l-icr agoiilaing cries were heard
by Mrs. Charles ( hrtstlanlien. who re»
sides nearly opposite the Kingshury
homo. Mrs. t‘hriiitiansen rushed to
her assistance with a rug, which she
hastily picked up saying:
“Wrap yourself in this rug and i
will get ii quilt." Mrs. Christiansen
run into the house and got the quilt
to smother the flames but when she
had returned. Miss Kingshury lay dead
at the edge of the roe
Everything in connection with the
case is most gruesomd. 0n the front
porch of the house tire portions of
scorched wood, calmed either by the
young woman as she roiled

quolch the flames or from

farther down the bank, where there

the latter place, a bunch of matted

morning.

Realizing that something should be
done, he picked her up and carried
her into the house. The fire had done

entirely past recognition. The body
was taken in charge by Undertaker

not be prepared for burial in the us-
ual manner. Instead it was wrapped

Miss Klngsiiury, who was strikingly
pretty. was thirty-two years of age
and was a. daughter of the late Wil-

A sad co-lneldence in connection
with her death is the fact that her

ed on the same premises. Her death
occurred about twelve years ago.

Change of Sentiment Regarding
the Elmcrest Location, When
It was Learned Grading
Would Cost as Much as, the
Lot—Building Site Committee
to Meet Friday Night
A mobilng of the High School Com-
mltice was held last night, at which
'the whole matter of a building site
was referred back tho the building site
committee. At the last meeting the
whole committee. by a no means unan-
imous vote, favored the Cole property
on Elmore-st as a site for the ‘prbposed
new school. Wheu it was found last
night that the cost of grading that
lot would be as much as the original
cost, several of the members seemed
to see a great white light, and a. very
prevalent opinion was expressed that
while the Cole site would be an ideal
site, the people of the town in meet-
ing assembled would never vote to
purchase it. and the building site com-
mittee was instructed to investigate
further and report at the next meet~
ing.
There was just one more than a
quorum present when the meeting was
called to order last night at 8:20
o'clock by Chairman Bradley S, Keith.
Those present were Mr. Keith. Abla-
lhar Blanchard, Harry Rider, Leo Da-
vis, Louis S. Beers, Dr, George 8. Ken-
dall, Charles W. Bell, Moses H. Glov-
er, ’E. E. Gorbam and Dr. W. J.
Tracey.
Chairman Keith opened the meeting
by explaining that at the last session
of the committee it had been decided
