Three In Family Die From Burns
Received When Stove Explodes
Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Bullard and their fourteen-months old granddaughter, Elaine Chapman, lost their lives when a stove in their home near here exploded early Friday morning. It is reported that Mr. Bullard was using kerosene to kindle a fire in the stove when the explosion occurred.

Residing at home with their parents were three daughters, Margaret Bullard, Mrs. Harry Beaty and Mrs. Nina Chapman. The husbands of the two latter daughters are both serving in the armed forces overseas. The Bullard's are survived by two sons who are also overseas.
