Mrs. Anna Ulrich Fatally Burned Late Monday Afternoon

   The aged woman lived alone and was raking' and burning leaves in the yard when, her dress, caught fire. She managed to extinguish the flames and in some manner reached the house, where she called her daughter-in-law, Mrs. John Ulrich, who lives near. A physician was called, but the burns were too deep-seated and covered almost her entire body.
   Deceased was the widow of Charles Ulrich, who died about two years ago.
   Since the death of her husband she had lived the greater part of the time, with one of her sons, but recently had returned to her old home where she lived alone. She is survived by three children, all living near the old home, place, namely Mrs. Ansel Roberts, John and Harry Ulrich. There are also one sister and three brothers, Rev, Charles Harms of Sumner, being a brother.
