Trailer fire takes life

       In a blaze believed to have been started by a lighted cigarette, a Johnson county woman was burned to death Sunday morning in a trailer which was located in the Glendale Trailer Court on the Marion-Johnson County Line road about five miles west of Greenwood.  The above photo shows the charred inside of the trailer and the hole which was burned in the floor.  Authorities estimated that the fire burned as long as 30 minutes before it was discovered by nearby residents .  (Reprinted with permission from the Indianapolis Star)
