The body of an 87-year-old Negro woman was found in the ryins of a two-story frame house near Manson by fire men some two hours after the fire had been reported to mem bers of the Drewry Volunteer Fire Department. Mrs. Emma Hanks Suit,lone occupant of the horr e, was burn ed to death. The fire was discovered by Coon Currin, Middleburgfarm er and Warrenton warehouse man, and George Walker, color ed. The men, who were driv ing by at the time, are report ed to have found the door to the house locked and to have broken a window pane and entered one room furthest from the flames, but the heat was so great that they could not make a further search of the house.
