Children Die In Blaze

Tragedy, in crushing force, came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Henley of the Garber – Covington oil field Tuesday afternoon. Explosion and fire in their chicken house took the lives of two members of the family, Eugene 13, Wanda 7, and perhaps fatally burned a third, Harold 5, who was near death in a Perry hospital last night. Another child, Audie Moyer 5, daughter of a neighbor, painfully burned, is in an Enid hospital.

The children were in the building when one of them touched a match to inflammable material. The mother loaded them in the car and rushed them to Lucein for aid. No doctor immediately available, she took them to Perry. One died that evening, another Wednesday morning.
