Thursday morning Mrs Shafer and Daugh ter Evelyn Probably Fatally Burned Willie Shafer Youngest Member of the Family Painfully Burned THE DEAD Curtis Shafer Miss Effie Shafer PROBABLY FAfALLY INJURED Mrs Curtis Shafer Miss Evelyn Shafer Curtis Shafer nnd his daughter Miss EiTie aged 14 were burned to death Tlmrsdny morning and Miss Evelyn aged 12 was probably fatally burned Mrs Grace Shafer the wife and mother was terribly burned about the head face and body and her condition is serjojis Willie a son aged 10 had his hands painfully bunted The Shafer home was on a farm in Canfleld township on the Canfield Austintowu road 2V1 miles north of the village Mr Shafer arose shortly after 5 oclock and after starting a lire in the kitchen stove went to the barn to do his chores Chancing to look inlhe direction of the house about at 530 he discovered it in flames Hastily securing a ladder he hurried to the blazing structure a one and a half story house and placed the ladder under a window just in time for his wife carrying Miss Evelyn to descend Mr Shafer asked her to return for Miss Effie while he looked after Evelyn but she said she could not being too badly burned Mr Shafer mounted the ladder to rescue Effie and had just crawled through the window when the roof fell burying him and his daughter in the house then enveloped in flames Willie Shafer who slept with his father down stairs while other members of the family had rooms dn the second floor awakened by the stifling smoke and crackling fire immediately ran to the stair door to aprise his mother and sisters of their danger He called lustily awakening his mother but was unable to ascend the stairs on account of smoke and fire which confronted him In his vain attempt to go up stairs he groped about and his hands were badly burned How the fire originated is a matter of conjecture It is presumed however to have started from a defective chimney Mr Shafer was the only member of the family who was outside to get a view of the fire and he had no time to tell where he first saw the flames Miss Effie Shafer who perished in the home with her father was a pupil in the Normal college taking the high school course She was a bright young lady and very popular with teachers and classmates and her tragic death has cast a gloom over the entire school Mr Shafer had been serving as a juror in common pelas court at Youngstown driving to and from the city morning and evening As he used the only driving horse he owned Miss Effie made the trips to and from school in the covered wagon used by Frank Schaaf in conveying pupils to and from the centralized school in Canfleld Nothing was saved from the burned home Mr Shafer coat was found hanging on the garden fence where he evidently placed it before mounting the ladder to attempt the resaue of his daughter Dr II Schnurrenbcrger who was summoned to attend the burned victims of the fire is of the opinion that neither Mrs Shafer nor Evelyn can recover both having inhaled fire Miss Evelyn has not ragained consciousness and her death is momentarily expected Neighbors hurried to the burning home but were powerless to render assistance other than to care for the burned survivors the fire in the cellar ors Efforts were directed to extinguishing and this was accomplished about 10 oclock when the badly charred bodies of Mr Shafer and Effie were recovered They were together and indicated that Mr Shafer had his daughter in his arms holding her in tight embrace when they met death The bodies of both were burned to a crisp Mr Shafer being unrecognizable but the daughters face can be recognized Mr Shafer was about 35 years of age the son of Mr and Mrs Nelson Shafer ofvCanfield township He was married about 16 years ago to Miss Grace Gardner Nelson Shafer made his home with the family but was not at home at the time of the fire having gone Wednesday to visit his mother in West Austintcwn There was insurance on the burned property but tlie amount
