Woman Burned to Death in Attempt to Save Children
Mrs. Mary Badrow, of Washington Street Bergholtz, Was Safely Out But Returned For Youngster - Husband Badly Burned Trying to Save Her
Bergholtz - Mrs. Emelia Badrow, 58 years old of Washington road, Bergholtz, was burned to death in a fire that destroyed her home at 5 o'clock this morning, and her husband, John Badrow, 60 years old, was severely burned about the head, hands and arms in a vain attempt to save his wife from the flames. Mrs. Badrow was safely out of the burning building once but returned to the house in an attempt to save her daughter, Esther, 16 years old, and her grandson, Howard, 5 years old who were still in the dwelling, when she was trapped by the flames and met her death. Firemen saved the two children. The fire was caused by the explosion of a kerosene stove, which was lighted by Mrs. Badrow to prepare breakfast. The Badrow home was a story and a half frame building and the flames swept rapidly through the lower part. Rudolph Badrow, 25 years old, a son, when aroused by the fire, jumped from an upper story bedroom window and sounded an alarm, which brought the Bergholtz, St. Johnsburg and Nashville volunteer firemen to the scene of the blaze with their motor apparatus. The blaze had gained such a start, however, that the firemen were unable to save the house or its contents. The fire loss was estimated at $5,000. Mr. Badrow was aroused by the explosion and mad his exit from the building safely, only to return again in search of his wife and sustain severe burning. The Badrow family was well known in Bergholtz. The spectacular and fatal fire attracted nearly the whole countryside to Bergholtz. Mrs. Badrow's body was not recovered until the fire was extinguished. Her husband made an heroic attempt to save her life. He reached the woman's body and was dragging it to safety when it slipped away from him and he was again unable to reach it in the dense smoke and fierce flames. Mrs. Badrow was born in the town of Wheatfield. Besides her husband, she is survived by four daughters, the Misses Esther and Emma at home, Mrs. Arthur Licht of Lockport road and Mrs. Herman Wrege of North Tonawanda; one son, Rudolph, 10 grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Emma Conrad of Bergholtz and Mrs. Alter Gierke of Bergholtz, and one brother, August Karing of Bergholtz. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon from the Licht home at 2 o'clock, standard time, and at 2:30 from St. Jacob's church, Rev. Otto Bruss officiating. Interment will be in St. Joseph's (Jacob's) Cemetery.
