THREE MEN SCALDED TO DEATH
Ran a Mile from the Scene of a Boiler Explosion and Then Died
PARKERSBURG, W.VA., Jan 3 -- The boiler in the South Penn Oil Co. pumping station at Harry Rhodens, Doddridge County,
blew up, scalding to death Harry Rhoden, a pumper for the company, Merrick Frick, who ran a string of well cleaning
drills, and Dell Ash, his assistant.
The men were all in the boiler house warming themselves when the explosion occurred. They broke open the door, which
had become locked, and escaped to another house a mile away. All were scalded so badly that after reaching the other
boiler house, they collapsed, and in a few hours all were dead.
