Charles Mix County News, April 2, 1931
Mrs. Emma Phillips, living north of town, died in the Bury Hospital Saturday evening from the effects of burns received while starting the kitchen stove that morning. She put kerosene on live coals which formed gas resulting in an explosion. She thrown water on her clothing to put out the flames but not until she was totally burned about the body, hands, and face. Her three sons who sleep in an adjoining room jumped through a window and put out the fire which had started on the kitchen floor, by shoveling on snow. Mrs. Phillips bandaged her hands and applied liniment to the burns preceded with the work of cooking breakfast. She finally consented to come to the Bury hospital where she was administered to. She was unconscious most of the afternoon, and finally passed away.
Emma Augusta Hintz was born July 21, 1875 and departed this life March 28, 1931.
On February 27, 1907 she was united in marriage to James Phillips and to this union were born five children, two of them dying in infancy.
When a young woman she was converted and united with the Methodist E. Church and was a faithful worker in the church.
She leaves to mourn her departure three sons, William, Henry, and George; three brothers, Frank, Ed, and Herman Hintz of Western Nebraska. Also three sisters, Mrs. Herman Zabel of Fairbury, Nebraska, Mrs. Herman Brunkow of Western Nebraska, and Harriet Negl of Plymouth, Nebraska.
Our people best knew Mrs. Phillips as a devoted wife, mother, and kindly disposed neighbor, and since the death of her husband remained on the farm caring for her sons in a loving and helpful way. Her tragic death has called forth the sympathy of our people in a most helpful and Christian way with this assurance to comfort those nearest and dearest. Not here but over there in the care and keeping of a loving Father. The News with the many joins in extending sympathy.
Funeral services were conducted from the Community church, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. L.J. Sheldon officiating. Flowers were on and about the casket in profusion. Interment was made in Pleasant Lawn cemetery, under direction of Noll undertakers.
Sisters of the deceased present at the funeral were Mrs. Herman Zabel, Fairbury, Nebr., Mrs. Herman Brunknow, Western Bebr., brother Herman Hintz and Frank Hintz from Western Nebraska.
