Radcliffe, Ia. Funeral services were held Monday for Merle Larson, 22, who died at Ellsworth Hospital in Iowa Falls Friday from burns received a month ago.
Larson had drained the alcohol from the radiator of his car and put the fluid in a glass bottle. The bottle was broken and the contents splashed on his clothing. When he went into the house and stood near a stove, the heat ignited his clothing. After treatment at the hospital it was believed he would recover, but he suffered a relapse.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Larson of Radcliffe. Besides his parents, there survive four brothers and four sisters.
Burial was in the Radcliffe cemetery.
