SIXTH VICTIM OF DISASTER IS FREED BY DEATH
Emily Becker Dies After Ten Days Of Suffering
A sixth victim of the explosion and fire at the plant of the Aluminum Goods plant on February 26, found release from agonizing suffering which she had endured, yesterday, when death came to her release, Emily Becker passing away at the hospital at 2:30 Sunday afternoon. Death was a mercy to the suffering girl as there was no hope for her recovery and each day but added to the agony and suffering which she experienced.
Miss Becker was one of the most severely burned of the victims, her entire body being affected, the most severe burns being to legs and an arm and it was at one time thought that as a last resort in hope of saving the girl that amputation of a leg and arm might be undertaken. Her condition from the time of the accident had failed to show improvement, however, and it was realized that the hope of amputation was a forlorn one and it was not attempted.
Miss Becker was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Becker, 1130 So. Nineteenth street and was born in this city in 1902 and would have been nineteen years of age on July 23. She attended the Garfield and Cleveland schools and also St. Mary's school and had been employed at the Aluminum Goods Co. for four and one-half years.
Besides her parents Miss Becker is survived by six brothers and four sisters, Dominic, Alex, Frank, Stanley, Joseph, and Chester and Josephine, Agnes, Sophia and Blanche.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at St. Mary's church and interment will be at St. Mary's cemetery.
With the death of Miss Becker, the toll of life in the accident now totals six. One other girl, a patient at the hospital, is still in a critical condition, though hopes are entertained for her recovery. Three others are reported out of danger. A number of girls who suffered slight burns have recovered and most of them have returned to work.
