From Local Newspaper:
A tragedy, such as seldom overtakes a community occurred early last Tuesday morning when Clarence Larkin was fatally burned when his home and possessions were completely destroyed by fire. The origin of the fire was not known and Mr. Larkin suffered most severe burns about his body before he was awakened and able to leave the burning building. Although his clothing was almost completely burned off, and he was suffering intense pain, he walked 2.5 miles to the home of his son, Walter A. Larkin, where a physician was called. First aid was administered and he was immediately removed to the University of Kansas Hospital where he passed away early Wednesday morning.
Note: His Grandson, John Ashton Larkin, 7 years old at the time of his grandpa's death recalls that he could see the flames of the house fire in the distance out the window of the family home and after his Grandpa was taken to the hospital, the couch where he had been lying was still smoking.
