A mother and her three children were burned to death early this morning in a fire which destroyed their large farm home located on the Masonville-Deposit road about 10 miles from Sidney [Delaware Co., NY]. The victims were tentatively identified as: Mrs. William Gifford, 42, and her three children, Vincent, 10; Mary Elizabeth, 3, and Marjorie, 2. All four were trapped in the flaming structure. Two other children of the family, Clayton, 7, and Richard, 13, were dropped out of a bedroom window and saved, it was reported. Also unharmed were William Grifford, father of the children; and a man named John MacDougall, hired man. The fire started between 1 and 1:30. No fire departments responded. A belated call for help was received by the Sidney Fire Department about 3 a.m., but according to Chief Archie Spencer the call did not include the particular location of the fire. He said the call informed him of fire "somewhere the other side of Masonville." The Sidney department did not answer the call. State Police of Troop C Barracks here were sent to investigate. The fire was first discovered by Mr. MacDougall, awakened by the smell of smoke. Investigating, he found one end of the building in flames, and immediately summoned Mr. Gifford. Mr. Gifford dropped the two boys, Richard and Clayton, out of the bedroom window. Mrs. Gifford, said to have been confused, attempted to leave the building by passing through the blazing kitchen. The three children, Mary Elizabeth, Marjorie and Vincent, were hopelessly trapped in the room in which they were sleeping. Fire was said to have started in an overheated kitchen stove. Three stoves were located on the first floor of the frame structure, pipes from which led through partitions. The building and contents were destroyed. Dr. C.S. Gould of Walton, acting as coroner's physician, gave a verdict of accidental death by conflagration. [MHD notation: d. 1942]
