Death from clothes catching fire after cigar accident
A 65-year-old Lorain resident, Mr. Boynton, died after his clothes ignited from ashes while smoking a cigar.

He had lived in Lorain forty-five years, later moving from Russia township to Elyria before his death. An onlookers’ funeral turnout reflected community sorrow.
