Mary Brenkus;the two year old daughter of Mr.and Mrs.Charles Brenkus;of the East End Hotel;in North Belle Vernon;died Saturday evening;January 1;1921;at her home from burns received early Thursday evening of last week. The little child was alone in the office of the hotel when an explosion of a can of disinfectant set fire to her clothing and before aid reached her she was seriously burned about the face and arms. Her father rushed to her assistance and in extinguishing the flames;he too was painfully burned about the face and arms. Little hopes were entertained for the recovery of the child and she was not removed to a hospital but given the best of care at her home. Her suffering;however;was relieved Saturday when her death occurred. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon;January 3;1921;at three o’clock from the home and interment was made in the Belle Vernon Cemetery. The father;who was painfully burned in his futile attempt to save the life of his little daughter;was able to attend the services;but is still suffering from the burns. The office of the hotel was badly damaged by the fire which followed the explosion.
