Hi Found the article in Detroit Free Press 10 Jan 1930
Picture of house and fire engine with inserts of people involved.
Caption: Mrs Josephine Barker and her grandson Cecil are dead, and another son Hurley Barker and another man are recoving from the gas. They were found by grandson Lannie Barker and Mrs. hannah Sexton, landlady. Picture on bottom of Lannie, Walter,son of the dead woman and father of the dead child, and his sons, Preston,Lester,Johnny and Kelly.

Looked for death notices, with no luck. Not many during depression times.
Send address and i'll mail article.
