[This was transcribed by me (RE) from a photo of the newspapter obituary that I found on Ancestry.Com from PaulHarveyfamtree or from djdseattle. Underneath in cursive handwritting is written "Elizabeth L. Reuix Wolff's ? Grandmother"] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied the following from Ancestry.com media family tree of djdseattle. He originally shared this story 18 Aug 2012. It is also in other family trees: gedcom rebecca - angetoad. and Webb Family Tree - ssheber1. The far right side did not print, so I will fill in what I remember. Alice had 4 sons, oldest names Clayton, baby named Buster, don't remember other names. Alice had made some clothes for 4t. . . . . . old fashioned iron that you built a fire in to heat it, it got too cold to press clothes - she told my sister Hana Elizabeth and Pearl to heat it up on the front porch. They put some sticks in it and took the kerosene can to pour kerosene on the sticks. It exploded and blew the kerosene . . . . . . the fire burned the skin off the 4 boys inside the house and the 3 died. Alice made the remark God had to took her 3 boys but he could not have her baby Buster - he died . . . . . . later. [I will try to look it up again, and get the info that I missed. Not sure who is writting this account. But Alice Jane had sisters named Hannah Elizabeth and Emily Pearl. Pearl May Currie would have only been age 5 or 6. Goldie or another sister of Alice Jane could have been writing this.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1930 U. S.
