Mrs. Adam George Weinman, 43 was fatally burned last Thursday night at her home in Stuttgart, Kansas when carbide fuel, which she had accidently sprayed on herself from a heater, was ignited by a kerosene lantern.
According to members of the family, Mrs. Weinman had just prepared two of the little girls for bed, and had for some unknown reason, released the valve of the carbide pressure tank in the kitchen, without first allowing the air within to escape. The carbide fuel sprayed over her clothing and a lantern nearby instantly caused the gas fumes to explode, firing all of her clothing.
A scream from Mrs. Weinman immediately brought Mr. Weinman who was in an adjoining room and in an attempt to tear the burning clothes from her, severely burned his own hands. This method failing, he rushed to an adjoining bedroom for a blanket and managed to smother the flames, but not until she had been so severely burned that her life could not be saved. A great amount of skin was burned away and the flesh was seared.
She was rushed to a Norton Kansas hospital where she died the following morning around 5:40 o'clock.
Mrs. Weinman was the wife of Adam George Weinman, a businessman at Stuttgart. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hoffman. Besides her husband, she is survived by four children.
