              <text>Mrs.Stanley Smith Meets Tragic Death:Burns Prove Fatal To Esteemed Pullman Lady-Remains Shipped To Old Home In Kansas.; MRS. STANLEY SMITH MEETS TRAGIC DEATH Burns Prove Fatal to Esteemed Pullman Lady‚ÄîRemains Shipped to Old Home in Kansas Mrs. Gertrude Knittle Smith, wife of Stanley A. Smith, head of the department of architecture at the State College, succumbed at the Colfax hospital at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening, her death resulting from burns received but a few hours previous. Mrs. Smith was renovating the basement of the family home at 902 Campus avenue Wednesday afternoon and it is presumed that her clothing caught fire as she was burning old papers and other refuse in the furnace. Mrs. Smith, with her clothing aflame, ran upstairs and fell on the kitchen floor. Her cries were heard by neighbors, who rushed to her assistance and extinguished the flames, but her clothing had been virtually burned from her body and the deep burns in the flesh covered the entire body from the knees to the top of her head. A physician and nurse were summoned and Mrs. Smith was rushed to the Colfax hospital, where everything possible was done to ease the torture of her burns. She passed away a few hours later. The tragic and untimely death of Mrs. Smith, who was known and beloved by hundreds, has cast a pall of sorrow over the entire community, and the hand of sympathy is extended to the husband and daughter, whose hearts are so unexpectedly filled with sorrow this holiday time. Gertrude May Knittle was born at Salina, Kansas, December 16, 1889, and at the time of her death was just past 37 years of age. From the time of her grade school days she was a friend and companion of Mr. Smith, and they attended the Kansas Agricultural College together, being united in marriage about 12 years ago. The family came to Pullman from Fargo, North Dakota, in September, 1923, and Mrs. Smith immediately won her way into the hearts of the community by her charming personality and her extreme friendliness. Mrs. Smith was a member and active worker in the Methodist church, a member of Chapter S, P. E. O., and of the Historical club. She was also affiliated with Kappa Delta sorority. She is survived by her husband and by one daughter, Margaret, aged 10 years. Her mother, Mrs. Ella C. Knittle, resides at Salina, Kansas, as does also her brother, Ralph. The remains were taken to Salina Thursday evening, accompanied by the husband and daughter.</text>
