The Thomasville Times-Enterprlse of this morning brings the following report of the horrible death,of Mrs. S. J. Kingsley, of Boston, Ga.: "The whole county was shocked yes terday morning to learn of the death of Mrs. S. J. Kingsley, at her home in Boston, the death resulting from ter rible burns from an exploding oil lamp. Mrs. Kingsley was'the oldest daughter of Sheriff T. J. Hight, and leaves a husband, a son of six years, and a little daughter of thirteen months. She was a lady of many Christian virtues and was beloved by all who knew her. The tragic death cast a gloom over the entire commun ity. Her funeral will take place at 10 o’clock this j^iornlng. The accident was particularly tragic In Its details. Mrs. Kingsley was alone in her home with her two chil dren, her husband having gone to prayer meeting. The youngest child, In toddling about the room, pulled table cloth from a table on which there was a lighted lamp. Mrs. King sley sprang from the piano, at which she had been seated, and seized the overturned lamp. As she picked it up, It exploded and the burning kerosene spurted over her, causing terrible burns. Her cries were heard by neigh bors, Who rushed to her assistance, but too late to save her life. The acci dent took place at 8:30 o'clock, and she lingered in agony until 4 in the morning. She was fully conscious un til twenty minutes before her death. She expressed Christian resignation, and her sorrowing friends comfort themselves with the thought that all Is well with her soul. Mr. Hight received the news by tel ephone a few moments after the acci dent. He went down to Boston on a freight train, and reached there about 9:16, remaining with his daughter un til the end came. Mrs. Hight, Mr. Walter Hight, Mr. and Mrs. Redden Jones, and other relatives and friends went down to Boston yesterday.” PINSON 8UFFERS STROKE. Prominent Citizen of Sylvester Criti cally III at Hia Home In that Place. It was with genuine regret that the . many Albany friends of Mr. T. J. Pin son, one of the most prominent Citi zens of Sylvester, learned this morn ing that he had suffered a severe stroke of apoplexy yesterday after noon. The news first reached the city late yesterday evening, when Dr. P. L. Hilsman was summoned to the bed side of the stricken man. Dr. Hilsman returned to the city last night and states that Mr. Pinson Is in a serious condition, though he thought he would recover to some extent from the stroke of yesterday. It is always problematic as to what condition apoplexy leaves those victims to whom it does not carry immediate'death, but it is hoped that Mr. Pinson may sufficiently re cover to spend many more years- of usefulness with his family and friends.
