She was reaching over the stove to get the stove hook when her clothing caught on fire. Both lids in front and the center piece were off the stove when she did it.

The alarm was given but there was no water handy and it was a few seconds before a bucket could be found. It happened to contain some water which was thrown on her. Then the people who had gathered hurriedly torn off what clothing remained on her. It was found that her body from the knees up was burned frightfully. Woolen hose had protected her feet. It being hot weather, she was clad mostly in cotton clothing which burned rapidly.
It was about 8:30 o'clock in the moring when it occurred and she died at a quarter to three in the afternoon. With all her pain she never gave a groan.
She resided in a house by herself very near to her son's house where she had lived for many years.
Deceased would have been eightly-four the 11th of August, and was born in England. Arrived in this country with her husband, the late William Hanks, the fall of 1881 and has since resided in Bountiful. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for over fifty years.
