Mrs. Carrie Kloss, wife of the Rev. M. Kloss of Marshfield, who is conducting a series of revival meetings at Oshkosh, died after hours of agony from carbolic acid burns. The couple are Seventh Day Adventists and occupied a tent. Mrs. Kloss had been ill for some weeks. Someone urged her to use carbolic acid as a local application to reduce pain. She evidently was ignorant of the strength of the liquid, for she used it at nearly full strength. She was shockingly burned and physicians were unable to relieve her sufferings to any appreciable extent. Mrs. Kloss was 28 years of age and leaves several children, one but a few weeks old.
BETHEL. Sorrow has again come to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stilson by the death on Monday of their only remaining daughter, Mrs. Carrie Kloss, wife of Elder J. Kloss, at Oshkosh. Mrs. Kloss was twenty-nine years old. For years she had lived an earnest, christian life and passed away strong in the hope of resurrection at the coming of the Lord in the clouds of heaven. A husband and little daughter, parents, two brothers and many friends are left to mourn her early death. Funeral services were held at the church and the burial took place at Pittsville.
