Five Perish in Fire
Two Others of Family Injured; One Probably Fatally.
Dog in House Gives Alarm

Father Rescues Wife and Baby and Falls Unconscious
Soon After Tragedy in Zuver Home Near Titusville, Pa., News Comes of Death of Mrs. Zuver’s Mother in Indiana – Boy Sees Flames Leaping Around His Little Sisters, and Is Unable to Go to Their Rescue.

Titusville, Pa., Nov 21 – Awakened by the barking of his dog early today, Thomas W Zuver, an oil-producer living east of here, found his house in flames. With difficulty he saved his wife and their baby. Two sons escaped from the second story, but were badlly injured. Five children were burned to death. The dead:
Emery Zuver, aged twelve
Roland Zuver, aged eleven
Martha M Zuver, aged nine
Lettie J Zuver, aged seven
Nellie R Zuver, aged five
The injured:
Nelson Zuver, aged sixteen; burned about the hands and face; will recover.

Awakened by His Dog

The fire is supposed to have originated in the floor, beneath an overheated gas range. When Zuver, awakened by the dog, sprang from his bed, the flames filled the sitting room. He forced the window sash out, calling to his wife to bring the baby.

Climbing to the porch roof, Zuver met one of the older boys coming through a window. The boy fell senseless on the roof and dropped to the ground. Flames prevented Zuver from re-entering the window, and he dropped unconscious from the roof.

Saw Sisters in Flames

Wilbur, another son, attempted to save his little brothers, but failed. Looking through the hallway, he saw his three little sisters sleeping as the flames lapped up the bedclothes about them. Wilbur jumped from the window, and in the yard found his mother and the baby partly overcome by smoke.

Soon after the fire, a telegram was received from Van Buren, Ind., announcing the death of Mrs. Zuver’s mother, Mrs Martha Ives. The latter’s body will reach here Friday, and funeral services for the six dead will be held at Pleasantville Saturday.
