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. The funeral services will be held from her late home tomorrow afternoon.
