Bio
Birth & death information from Illinois Death Records, researched by Peggy Ray Mrs. Margaret Fults died at 9:35 p.m. Wednesday at her home at Ava as the result of burns sustained June 30, last, when her clothing was fired by a cook stove. She was aged 74 years, 8 months and 7 days. Mrs. Fults was alone in her home at the time of her fatal burns. She was washing clothes. A handle of the clothes boiler being hot, she used the skirt of her apron as a glove. The fire ignited the apron and the apron communicated the fire to her dress.
