A DOUBLE ALARM
A Fire Hose That Knew His Duty and Performed It.
SAN BERNARDINO, feb. 12 - There was an alarm of fire rung in about 8 o'clock on Friday evening that proved to be from the cottage of Mrs. Susan Folks, a widow, at the corner of Eighth and I streets. Before the fire department could make the run of a mile and a half, there was but little of the building left.
The neighbors however, had assembled, and saved the contents of the house, but the cottage, valued at about $1000, was a total loss, with but light insurance on it. As the flames came out first around the chimney, it was evidently caused by a defective flue, and caught from the supper fire. The house was empty at the time, as the occupants were down in the city.
This misfortune followed close on the arrival of the news that the mother of Mrs. Folks, Mrs. Susan C. Case, ad died the same day at Willows, in the northern part of the state. Mrs. Case was 81 years of age, and formerly lived in this city.

According to the CDI (California, Death Index, 1905-1939),
Susan M Hansen was born abt. 1857
and died Nov. 14, 1929 in San Bernardino county, CA. (so the date on the grave marker, which is corroborated by her obituary, is incorrect by a few days).
