Mary Lou,

I am extremely interested in this particular entry:

A family named Wells, a woman and her two son's
and a granddaughter, were going north to Klingman Kansas, they stopped at
a vacant house, and they lit a fire in a old stove that was out in the
yard. An explosion occured that fatally injured Mrs Wells and badly wounded
the Grand daughter.
END

Is it possible that there might be another story on this or an obituary for Mrs Wells? Also, is 'Klingman' in Kingfisher county?

Thank you very, very much!!
Karla
