From Geneva Daily Times 5 December 1906
Naples, N. Y. - A sad accident happened yesterday morning when the clothing of Mrs. S. W. Kimber caught fire. She is over 80 years old and she and her sister, Mrs. Jeanette Pettingale, about 90 years old, were alone. In some way unknown, Mrs. Kimber's dress caught fire and getting onto the bed set the bed clothes on fire also. the front part of her dress was nearly all burned off, also her hair. She is in critical condition. C. L. Leens was going by and heard her crying for help and went to their assistance, or both women would have perished in the flames, as the bed where her sister was lying was on fire.
