DEATH-BURIAL: DEATH: newspaper notice: The Manti Messenger Newspaper 13 April 1901
A very serious accident happened [to] William Bown, Sr. Sunday morning last, while his grand daughter who cares for him was attending the Sunday School as teacher. He was in his usual health when Miss Bown left him, escepting for a slight dizziness which he complained of. The first to reach the Bown residence was Mrs. John Peterson who with her husband occupies the front part of the dwelling. On entering her room, she found it filled with smoke and aroma of burning cloth. She searched her room but could not discover any cause. Presently she heard a faint rap on the door leading to Mr. Bown’s room and, upon entering, found the old gentleman in a critical condition. His clothes, and the flesh on one side of his face and body were badly burned. He could give no account of the accident further than that he fell in the open fire place and was unable to extricate himself. It is supposed he had a spell of dizziness and fainted, falling into the fireplace as stated. Miss Bown was late in reaching home from school, as she stayed to a business meeting after the usual hour.
The condition of Mr. Bown is quite serious, owing to his advanced age, but there is hope of his recovery. He is being given the best medical care.
He is the father of Messrs. L. and J. Bown of your city, and has a number of children who reside here. He is about 75 years of age.
