Mrs. Ida Zahn Dies as Result of Burns
Mrs. Ida Zahn, 41, wife of John Zahn and a resident of the North side all of her life,
died late Saturday afternoon at St. Joseph's Hospital, when septic poisoning developed
as the result of serious burns sustained in her home No. 2317 Lodi Street, a short time
ago.
Mrs Zahn was rushed to the hospital after she received the burns, but her condition
steadily grew worse. She was lighting the gas stove in the kitchen of her home when the
burner ignited her clothing.
She was a member of the Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church and was active in charity work. Besides
her husband, she leaves one son Frederick, four sisters, Mrs. Julia Holmes of Groton, Mrs.
Ella Johnson, Mrs. Emma Eschnauer, Mrs Sophie Bussey, and two brothers, Edward Bessinger
of Groton, and Lawrence Sherer of this city. The body was removed to the home by A. C.
Shumaker, undertaker, from where the funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon 2 o'clock.
Friends may view the body Monday and Tuesday morning. Burial will be in Woodlawn
Cemetery.
