Fire resulting from the explosion of a coal oil stove completely destroyed the home of Samuel Jackson in east Scranton morning, cremated his little two year old son, Frank, and burned his six year old daughter, Beulah, so badly she died two days later. Mr. Jackson was badly burned about the arms, face and back in his heroic efforts to save the children. Mrs. Mary Ann Barraclough, mother of Mrs. Jackson sustained a broken hip in a leap to safety from the second story of the burning building.
OBIT: The funeral of Beulah and Frank Jackson took place from the M.E. church, Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Brogan, in the presence of a large number of sympathizing friends. Six little girls bore the casket to the alter and six little boys walked in the rear as attendants and would have borne the casket of baby Frank, but all that was earthly of his little body were a few charred bones picked up from the debris where the house burned. These were put in a silk bag and placed in Beulah’s casket to await the day when God will call the nations of earth to the resurrection. 24 Jul 1913 Scranton Gazette
