TRAGIC DEATH FOR A DENISON WOMAN
Frozen and Burned Body of Mrs. Frank Kennedy Found in Snow Bank at Home
It was a gruesome sight that met the eyes of Frank Kennedy as he rushed home from Denison Friday afternoon, suspecting some harm had befallen his wife. He found her burned and frozen body lying in a snow bank some distance from the home. The clothing had been burned completely from the body, as she ran from the house and thrust herself in to the snow bank in the farmyard. Her face and neck alone escaped the burns, as the head was lying towards the south and the wind had blown the fire away from it. Although unconscious, death did not ensue until early Sunday morning. The Kennedy family lives two miles south and a little west of Denison. Mr. Kennedy had inquired at a store if his wife had telephoned in an order. Learning she had not, the husband had suspected something wrong and rushed to his home where the tragic sight met his eyes. There were no signs of anything wrong in the house, according to the reports, dissolving the theory there had been an explosion or trouble with the stove. Mrs. Kennedy, aged 51, had been in a highly nervous state for some time and was far from a well woman. The cause of the accident is yet unexplained. There was no coroner's inquest because the woman was not found dead. She lived several hours after being found. There are no children in the family at home. Funeral services were held at the Gabel & McAsey Funeral Home in Holton Sunday at 2:30 o'clock and burial was in the Denison cemetery.
