Lamp Fatality At Sidemoor Sad Death Of A Sidemoor Woman – “In
Flames From Head To Toe”
At Bromsgrove Police Court on Tuesday evening the Coroner held an
enquiry respecting the death of Eliza Troth, aged 59, wife of
Samuel Troth, nailmaker, of 4 Willow Gardens, Sidemoor. Which
occurred in the Cottage Hospital on Monday evening from burns
received the previous day.
Samuel Troth stated that he last saw his wife alive previous to the
accident on Sunday evening about 7o’clock when she was in her usual
health which was good. He had since identified the body at the
hospital.
Alice Wheeler, aged 10, granddaughter of deceased, said she was in
the house with her grandmother when the accident happened, about
9.15 on Sunday evening. Deceased took a lighted lamp to go into the
pantry to fetch some coal. She then heard her cry out and saw her
coming out of the pantry with her clothes all on fire. She went to
fetch Mrs Tidmarsh who lives next door, and deceased followed her.
Annie Tidmarsh stated she and her husband were seated by their
fireside on Sunday evening when Alice Wheeler came running into the
kitchen saying her granny was on fire. They both rushed out and met
deceased who was in flames from head to toe. She fell on the garden
and they got some jackets and put over her, putting the flames out
as best they could. They then carried her into her own house, got
her clothes off, and wrapped her in a blanket, putting some oil on
her hands which were burnt very badly. Witness sent for the doctor
and Police Constable Phillips. The motor ambulance arrived, and
deceased was taken to hospital.
Dr. Coaker deposed that he first saw deceased in hospital about
10.0 p.m. on Sunday. She was severely burnt on the face, both arms,
both legs and the front of stomach and was suffering severely from
shock and in great pain. She never rallied and the case was
hopeless from the first. She died about 10.0 p.m. on Monday, death
being due to shock following severe burns. The Coroner, in
returning a verdict of ‘Accidental Death’ complimented Mrs Tidmarsh
and her husband on the prompt way they had acted."1040
