| 4558 | Buffalo NY Courier Express - 4/29/1947 Two men died of carbon monoxide fumes and their wives, one of whom broke out of a gas-filled cottage by smashing a window, narrowly escaped the same fate yesterday at Lime Lake, Cattaraugus. County vacation resort. The dead were: Robert Isaac Brayton. 64. of East Emery Rd., South Wsles. former operator of Brayton s Hotel. Cornelius Edward Van Valkenburg, 30, his son-in-law, of the same address, a mechanic employed at a Buffalo garage. Taken to Millard Fillmore Hospital was Brayton's wife, Edna. 54, whose condition was described as critical. Revived at Lime Lake was Mrs. Betty Van Valkenburg. 27. She was taken home. Blamed for the deaths was a gas heater with no outside venl in the living room of the Braytons' cottage. Mrs. Van Valkenburg's action was responsible for saving her mother's life. She broke the window of her bedroom and crawled outside when she found the doorway blocked by the body of her husband. The tragedy was discovered about 6 p. m., a few minutes after a neighbor, Mrs. Raymond Haynes. noticed an auto, with Mrs. Van Valkenburg at the wheel, drive up in front of Mrs. Haynes' cottage and park. "I noticed the car and became suspicious when she failed to get out," said Mrs. Haynes. "I went outside and noticed that Mrs. Van Valkenburg was in a daze and having great difficulty la speaking. I managed to catch something about treufcia « | the cottage." Mrs. Haynes spread the alarm, calling neighbors and police to the scene. A door was broken down to gain entrance at the Brayton cottage. Brayton's body was found in a front bedroom. His wife was in bed. On the floor, blocking the door of another bedroom was Van Valkenburg's body. It was from this room that Mrs. Van Valkenburg crawled through jagged glass after breaking a window. "Apparently Van Valkenburg fell after rising from bed, his bodv causing the door to slam shut and cutting off the spreading fumes," said Coroner Charles B. Perkins of Franklinville. "Otherwise, his wife probably would have lost her life, too. The door to the Brayton's bedroom was open." Overcome la Sleep Dr. Perkins, who issued certificates of accidental death by carbon monoxide poisoning for Brayton and Van Valkenburg, said Mrs. Van Valkenburg apparently awoke •in a semi-conscious condition and was unable to move her husband's body. "Had she been able to open the door, she probably would have been felled by the fumes," he said. The coroner aaid all four victims were overcome during their aleep and that the women's lives were saved because they were sleeping with their headsaway from door- ways leading to the gas-saturated living room. "The men must have been sleep- ing on the sides of the beds facing the doorways." he said. "Van Val- kenburg had been dead seven or eight hours; Brayton, five or six." | VANVALKENBURG, Cornelius Edward (I168139)
