| 9432 | Two Tots Burned to Death In Fire Near Morehead Family Trapped In Two-Story Frame House Four Other Persons Suffer Serious Injuries In Blaze Morehead, Ky., June 27 (Special) – Two small children were burned to death and four other persons, suffering from serious burns and injuries were being rushed to Lexington hospital early this morning as a result of a fire which trapped a family in a two-story frame house at midnight Friday at Bluestone, Ky., eight miles from Morehead. The dead were Glennis Wayne Gilkison, 5, and Mary Louis Montz, 2. Seriously injured were John Gilkison, 50; his wife, Blanche, 44; Recleu Gilkison, a son and father of Glennis Wayne, and Fred c. Gilkison, a son. Mrs. Roxy Montz, mother of Mary Lou, who was said to have been in a Lexington hospital for two months, knew nothing of the disaster. The blaze, which was though to have been caused by a discarded lighted cigarette, started in the kitchen of the home, shortly after Fred Gilkison returned from a hunting trip. Escape for the family was cut off when the fire, spreading quickly, swept into a stairway which led into the kitchen. Members of the family after several unsuccessful attempts to make an exit through the kitchen, were forced to leap from the second-story windows. Already severely burned, witnesses said that those who escaped the flaming structure suffered additional injuries when they leaped to safety. Repeated efforts by members of the family to rescue the two small children were unsuccessful as flames swept the upstairs bedroom in which they were sleeping. Scores of residents of the tiny village who were attracted to the scene of the fire attempted to aid in the rescue, but were driven back by the intense heat.
