HAYES CALDWELL
Hayes Caldwell, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Caldwell, residing 6 miles southeast 
of Shelbina, died Sunday morning at 6 o'clock from burns sustained last Friday 
afternoon. Mr. Caldwell was injured while attempting to start a gasoline 
engine which was cold. He poured gasoline on the carburetor, lighted it and 
when he stepped backward to avoid the blaze upset a can of gasoline 
which exploded. He ran from the engine house and rolled in the snow to 
extinguish the flames, but was badly burned about the face, arms and breast 
and limbs before any one reached him. 

The engine house was burned to the ground. Mr. Caldwell was 26 years old 
and was an only son. His father, mother and one sister, Miss Mary, survive him. 
Funeral services were conducted at the home yesterday at 10 A.M., after which 
the remains were taken to Shelbina for burial. Those from this city who attended 
the funeral are Dr. William Carson, L. E. Carson, A. M. Priest and Mr. and 
Mrs. Julius Ritter, Jr.
