| 590 | | Literally Roasted LITERALLY ROASTED The Horrible Death of Mrs. H. E. Wiley, an Estimable Woman of Cayuga CAYUGA, N.Y. May 9.?About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the neighbors of H. E. Wiley were startled by hearing a scream issuing from his home. Upon investigating, they found Mrs. Wiley completely enveloped in flames and before they could be extinguished her clothing had been completely burned from her body. Medical aid was at once summoned and everything possible was done to alleviate the suffering of the unfortunate woman, but after twelve hours' of intense suffering, she died at 1:20 this morning. Mrs. Wiley had, but a few minutes before the accident, been out in the garden burning brush and it is generally believed that a spark from the burning brush had lodged in her dress and had burst into flames after she entered the house. Mrs. Wiley was in her 80th year and was unusually active for one so old; She was a most excellent woman. Besides her husband, H. E. Wiley, she leaves four sons, H. S. Wiley, of Wiley & Co.; Chauncey, Theodore aud William, and two daughters, Mrs. William Finney of this place, and Mrs. A. H. Smith of New York city.

| 594 |  | Loses Luke, His "Seeing Eye", Lonely, Hangs Self With Leash BOSTON (UP)--Luke was his eyes, his confidante, the only real companion he had, and when they took the dog away life held nothing more for blind Raymond Swasey. That was the reason, friends said today, Swasey hanged himself with Luke's leash from a water pipe in the cellar of his basement apartment in the Back Bay where he was found last night. Since childhood, Swasey's sight was impaired. Despite his handicap Swasey, 50, was brilliant and ambitious. Six months ago friends arranged for Swasey to go to Morristown, N. J., to train for use of a "seeing eye" dog. The dog was Luke, and in the ensuing months Swasey came to depend on him. But Luke began to snap at passersby when he walked with his master. A month ago Luke was [sent back to Morristown. Swasey was left alone in his apartment, unable to leave except on the arm of friends who came too seldom. Finally the loneliness became too great. Then he committed suicide. --The Berkshire Eagle, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, August 26, 1944 Page 1 | |
