Fire kills Lake township farmer in sleep accident
George M. Smith a 72 year old widower living on an eighty acre Lake township farm died from smoke suffocation as his wood stove overheated and set his bed and room ablaze. The disaster occurred after a nephew replaced a large hickory log with elm and yet returned to sleep. Neighbours and family fought the flames but Smith had already perished. Coroner Stults linked the tragedy to gradual asphyxiation rather than quick cremation. Smith, a pioneer of the county born in Darke County Ohio in 1834, never married and left nephews and cousins in the area.
