EXPLOSION CAUSES WOMAN'S DEATH
----------
Mrs. Lizzie Strahl Received Fatal Burns While Filling
An Incubator Lamp With Oil Wednesday Evening
----------

And Her Hair Was Burned From Her Head

Shortly before she retired last night she noticed that the lamp in the small incubator she had in the house, which was being used for hatching chickens, needed refilling. She unscrewed the burner and started to fill the bowl of the lamp with oil without blowing out the blaze. The oil ignited from the flame and caused the can she was holding to explode, scattering the oil over her clothing. The soot ignited and burned most of the clothing from her body and the hair from her head.
The man employed on the place ran to the woman's assistance, but she was fatally burned before the flames could be extinguished. Dr. Perry was called, and he did all he could to relieve the woman of her suffering. She lived only twelve hours after the accident.
Mrs. Strahl resided at the home place with her mother and her four children, her husband being dead.

OBITUARY DIED -- Catherine Strahl, was born in Belmont County, Ohio, Jan. 31st, 1807, died March 15th, 1874, aged 67 years 1 month and 14 days. Her maiden name was Yarnall. She was married to Isaac Strahl, Nov. 26, 1834. She continued to reside in Ohio until October, 1853, when the family removed to Bartholomew
County, Ind. She came to Shelby County about four years ago. She was the mother of nine children, all
of whom are dead except three-- two sons and one daughter still living. Her husband died in 1863. Sister
Strahl obeyed the gospel when eighteen years of age, and connected herself with the Old Christian or New Light
Church. Although for several years deprived of church privileges, she never lost her confidence in God, nor
her love for the Saviour. She has been a patient sufferer for two years--the last five months of which she
was most of the time confined to her bed. I visited her several times and conversed freely with her on her
prospects for Heaven. She spoke of the exceeding goodness of God, and seemed entirely confident of a home
in Heaven. She "desired to depart and be with Christ." God has granted her desire. She
has gone to "the rest that remaineth to the people of God." While we drop a tear to her memory,
we would not call her back.Thursday, March 26, 1874
