DRUMMOND GIRL DIES FROM BURNS
Clydena Oliver, 15, who was seriously burned in a gasoline explosion at her home near Drummond, August 1st, died of her wounds Saturday afternoon.
The fatal injuries were caused by the igniting of a pail of gasoline which the girl carried into a room where a paper fire was burning in a range. She set the pail down on the corner of the range to prepare to fill the tank of a gasoline stove. In picking up the pail she spilled some of the gasoline on the range which ignited. She ran into the yard with her clothing on fire and was caught by her father and put in a water tank as the nearest and quickest way of putting out the fire. She was terribly burned from the waist down.
Clydena is the daughter of John Oliver. In addition to the father, she is survived by her stepmother and sister Jane, aged 7.
Funeral services were held at the Drummond Congregational church Monday afternoon.
Burial was made in the Del Norte cemetery near Drummond, where her mother is buried.
The Oliver family is well known in Garfield county, John Oliver is a pioneer settler of the Drummond community.
