The death of Mrs. Anna Ransdell, of
Lampasses, Texas, occurred on last Sunday morning. It was caused by being
burned with coal oil. Mrs. Ransdell was raised here and is known as a good kind
lady and her death is a warning not to fool with coal oil lamps, especially
never carry them up or down stairs when they are burning. -kz
