The building in which the explosion occurred was used for a granary, poultry house and garage.

In the poultry section, a chicken brooder was equipped with a gas heater, and Mrs. David turned out the gas. but a small spark of fire is believed to have remained in the mixer. She was spraying the walls with gr.s--I:ne to kill the chicken lice and when the room became filled with the fumes, it is believed that the small fatr.es set off the explosion, which fired the building immediately, and f-et Mrs. David's clothing on fire.

Mr. David was working in a field nearby and heard the explosion, and saw his wife running out of the building in flames, and when he reached her. the clothing was burned on' her body. Other neighbors heard the report and came to their assistance and fought the flames with water.
