Man, 88, Dies, Body Falls in Open Fire, Found by Grandson
With his body badly charred and his clothes partially burned off, A. J. Brumley, 88, was found dead in his home in Englewood Heights late Wednesday by a grandson, T. A. Lamkin. The latter had gone to visit with his grandfather. Justice of the Peace Moore held an inquest and gave it as his opinion that the aged man had died suddenly while sitting near the fire and had fallen on the hearth where his clothing took fire.

Funeral services were held from the chapel of the Fort Worth Undertaking Company this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment was in Greenwood cemetery.
