He died April 16, was buried Monday. Three frame houses in a row were destroyed by the blaze with a loss of $400 and damage amounting to $300 was caused at the adjoining frame dwelling occupied by Fire Chief L. C.

Sawyer. The chief tells a dramatic story of the tragedy: "I was sleeping and about 6.20 this morning my wife called xne Buck, quick! the house next door is on "I rushed outdoors and as I did Mrs. Geesey ran out of her house and cried 'Oh God! Georgie's in there. Save "The first floor of the house was in flames. I had to restrain Mrs.

Geesey and take her to some neigh bors because she said she was going through the fre to get the boy and I knew if she attempted it she would be burned to death." The Fire Chief drove the truck to the house and ordered his men to connect hose and raise a ladder to Georgie's window. Fireman Herbert Houser mount ed the ladder and peered into the flaming, smoke filled inferno. It was useless; he descended and con nected hose, In four minutes four hose lines were playing on the flames. Soon, in spite of a terrific wind blowing flames and sparks on Sawyer's house, the fire was under control. Then Marshall found the boy's body.

He turned over a mattress, tossed down from the floor above by firemen who knew they had to find the boy some place, but half hoped they wouldn't.

Mrs. Geesey and her son, Daniel, a river coal employe, occupy it. Georgie had Just come to her last night for a visit. He usually lived with his mother, Mrs. Laura Hoffman, at Summerdale, where she keeps house for Charles Fry.

She had left for Summer dale. The middle house was vacant. At the other end the Fort ney's lived. There was Mrs. Fort ney, her three children, Robert, 23; Alice, 16; and Beatrice, 13, and a grandson Robert Spong, 10.

Courageous Despite Tragedy Grandma Geesey is nearing three score and ten, She has that calm, deliberate manner of the courageous. It is evident in the apparent struggle with which she kept back her tears. But she kept them down, bore up nobly. She was six when she started to work, on a farm, she has worked always. She has no complaint, except for the loss of Georgie and her house.

It seems unBellevable to her; no tragedy like it has ever happened to her. "Georgie was the dearest, sweetest little boy that God ever made," she said. Her life has not been empty of sorrow. She has buried her husband and nine children. She has no idea how the fire Last night she had a wood fire in the stove in her kitchen when her son, Daniel, came home.

He made a coal fire for her, slept downstairs and went to work at 4.30 today. Not long before the catastrophe she arose and went to the kitchen of Mrs. Fortney. They were talking when she smelled smoke. She looked but and saw her house in flames.

That is all she knows. The son, Daniel, was notified later this morning. Pumper Savea Town Sawyer said the entire north end of the Geesey house the nearest his own home was in flames when firemen arrived.
