Fell on a Red Hot Stove

New York, 1895

While skylarking Friday afternoon, James Flanigan, of Whitestone, accidentally threw his younger brother face foremost on a red-hot stove, and the boy was terribly burned. When the lad was taken from the stove part of his flesh adhered to the lids of the range. He is badly disfigured and will be scarred for life.


Another of the Place's Victims

The body of Charles Allen, of the schooner Louis V. Place, which was wrecked off Sayville, was buried alongside those of the seamen of the ill-fated vessel, in the Episcopal cemetery at Patchogue on Friday.
