• No Name, 31 Aug 1928, Warsaw, Kosciusko County, Indiana, USA. ⁷⁴¹⁴ Additional information received in Warsaw today on the Mabie
tragedy in which Glayds Mabie, daughter of Eli Mabie, was
burned to death early Thursday morning when the Mabie home,
three miles southesat of North Webster, was struck by lighting,
is to the effect that the brother Gerald was stunned by the
bolt and was only aroused by his sister prior to being overcome
by smoke. Gerald Mabie's condition is much improved today. He
was able to be removed from the Crissy Home Hospital in
Pierceton to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Edward Grieder, near
North Webster, Thursday morning. Although he did not feel so
well Thursday evening it is believed that his condition is
rapidly improving. The two fled down the stairway to the lower
floor. Gerald kicked open the stair-door with difficulty, and
found himself confronted with dense smoke and flames. Believing
that all chance of escape either at the front or rear door was
cut off, Gerald kicked out a window at the foot of the
stairway, and crawled outside the house to safety. Turning back
to seize and rescue his sister, he found she had left. It is
presumed that the girl, becoming panic-stricken, endeavored to
escape through the kitchen of the home, and that she was
quickly overcome on reaching the kitchen. The stairway led from
the second floor to the pantry next to the kitchen. The father,
Eli Mabie, and one son, Lavon, were sleeping on the lower floor
in a room just off the living room. Gerald and Gladys were
asleep in upstairs rooms. The lighting bolt struck the kitchen
chimney, traveling downward through it and into the interior of
the kitchen. In an instant the interior was in flames, which
spread t all portions of the house. There were three rooms
downstairs and two above. Mr. Mabie and his son Lavon fled out
the front door in their nightclothes, shouting alarms to the
two sleeping upstairs. The father and two sons reached the
outside at about the same time. When they missed Gladys, Mr.
Mabie and Newton Miller, a neighbor, who had reached the scene,
climbed a ladder leading into Gladys' upstairs sleeping room,
but they did not find her there. A few minutes later Mr. Mabie
and Mr. Miller looked into the kitchen. There they saw the
inert form of the girl, surrounded by flames which prevented
any chance of rescue.
