Five children of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Trimble burned to death at their home in Rudyard early this morning. Trimble was badly burned while his wife who jumped from an upper window with their sixth child is suffering from exposure. The charred bodies of five children, two of them in their beds were found when villagers with snow had extinguished the embers of the destroyed home. The fire was unnoticed by the sleeping family upstairs until it had vertually consumed the stairway. Trimble , carrying Margaret 8 and Robert 5, tried to run down the stairs but stumbled, dropping the children into the flames. Falling into the flames himself he was terribly burned but managed to make his way out of the house.
