TWO BURN TO DEATH IN FARMHOUSE FIRE
Mother Saves Daughter But Cannot Reach Husband And Son
Two members of a family were burned to death and a third is in a serious condition as a result of fire which destroyed their farm home four miles northwest of here today.
The dead are John Hagman, 65, and his son, Vincent, 18. Mrs. Hagman is in serious condition in a Princeton hospital due to burns received when she heroically rescued her daughter, Olga, 16, and attempted to save the lives of her husband and son.
The mother, awaked by crackling of flames, ran through the blazing kitchen of the home and rescued her daughter from an upstairs room by use of a ladder. Quick spread of the flames made it impossible for her to reach the other members of the family.
Hagman arose at 6 a.m. to start a fire in a kerosene stove in the kitchen. He then retired again and apparently fell asleep.
The sound of flames spreading on the walls and floor of the kitchen awakened the mother, who rushed downstaris to find the room filled with fire. She rushed through it to reach the outside and in so doing was burned seriously about the limbs.
Hurrying to a ladder, which was near the house, she raised it against the side of the second floor room in which the daughter was. After helping the daughter to the ground the mother attempted to enter the first floor of the two-story structure but flames drove her back. The son reached the door of the kitchen, but was unable to get out while the father, judging by the position of his body, had not left the bedroom. The Hagman family has lived in this community 25 years.
