;—saiumay, July o, 1924 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND f ! DOG GIVES ALARM AS HOME IS BURNED. Sincere Service When Death Visits Your Home Let Us Relieve You Of All The Details of The Funeral. JOHN BURNS' SONS TOWSON, MD. Howls of a dog sounded the alarm when the cottage of Edward Thomas on Lassing avenue, Catonsville, caught fire from an overturned oil stove. Lack of water made it impossible for firemen to save the cottage, but they were able to prevent the spread of the flames to adjoining property. The owner's father, Harry Thomas, seventy-five, had been left alone with the dog while the rest of the family were down town. The aged man stumbled against the stove, but managed to get outside, where he fell exhausted and unable to sound an alarm. DEATH CLAIMS MRS. JENNIE M. PARKS. ¦ t I I | $ ? I f ?
