Mrs A J Copenhaver, of Tazewell, was fatally burned by a fire which almost destroyed the beautiful home of Capt D B Baldwin, 124 Summers street, yesterday morning. It had been thought that the home had been cleared of its occupants and the firemen were fighting the flames, which were leaping wildly through the lower hallways and rooms on the north side of the house, when Fire Chief R O Carter, upon entering a door at the back side of the home, found Mrs Copenhaver lying at the rear of the reception hall, near the entrance of a door leading to one of the living rooms. Life was almost extinct when Chief Carter made the discovery. With the assistance of other members of the department Mrs Copenhaver was taken from the burning building and hurried to the Bluefield Sanitarium, on the fire truck, but her condition was so critical that death resulted a few minutes after reaching the hospital...
