Fire Accitent Claims Life of Penrose Man
Death relieved the suffering of Orvil Wasden of Penrose Tuesday morning after he had been fatally burned 24 hours earlier at his home. He received the burns when a large oil can, containing tractor fuel, exploded as he was pouring from it into a fire in a stove. The fuel saturated his clothing after the explosion and he ran from the house and for some distance before Mrs. Wasden overtook him and threw a quilt around him. The first quilt was also burned and a second was needed to completely smother the flames.
The couple then drove in a truck loaded with coal to the home of his parents, where Dr. Graham of Powell was called and immediately after the examination he was taken to the Lovell Hospital where he was treated to ease his suffering. He remained conscious during Monday and passed away just 24 hours after his accident.
As a result of the fire in the home the kitchen was completely burned, but neighbors controlled the blaze before much other damage was done.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced, as a brother is expected to arrive from California today or tomorrow.

Ida Ella Sellers was born Sept. 23, 1882 at Manassa, Colo., to Daniel R. Sellers and Mary Irene Banister. Her parents left a mercantile business in Alabama to join the LDS church, then emigrated to Colorado. Her father is credited with the founding of a Mormon colony in that area.
When Ella was nine, her mother died, and being the oldest daughter at home, she had a lot of responsibilities, for her younger brother and sister and the home.
Her father spent the summers at a tie camp in the mountains. Her father was in a crippling accident and from then on, supported his family from what he could earn at a cobbler's bench.
When Ella and Nettie, who was two years younger, were old enough they helped by hiring out to do housework. Later on they both became dressmakers.
Ella was married to John Thomas Watts in the Salt Lake Temple, Feb. 4, 1904. John had come to Big Horn country in 1902, and had resolved to make his home here, so he brought his bride to the Big Horns.
He had two children by his first wife, Irene May Hawkins. He brought thirteen-year-old Henry with him, but ten-year-old Mary was left for several years with her Grandmother Hawkins.
Their first two years here were spent at Shell Creek, where John worked for Jess Smith. At this time he and Jesse filed on two homesteads southwest of Byron. Jesse died in 1905, but in the meantime he had given his homestead to his daughter, Maggie, and these two homesteads became the family homes of the Watts and the Winzenreids for many years.
John worked on all the early improvement projects, building canals, roads, bridges, etc. Gathering logs for homes and riding for cattle, they farmed around Penrose until the canal was finally completed, to bring water to the homestead. They belonged to the Penrose ward.
Five children were born to them, Jesse, Ella, Parley, Evelyn, and Dolly Eva. They went to school at Byron. During this time, the older son, Henry lost his life in battle in France in 1918. Years later Ella was permitted to visit his grave while on a Gold Star Pilgrimage as a guest of our government.
Ella worked in the Relief Society, M.I.A., and Sunday School for years.
John died, Jan. 1, 1935 after eight years of illness. Ella stayed on at the farm, though she was often alone as the children got married or sought work. Sometimes she got a job herself. Then she went to stay with her daughter, Ella, who was teaching school at Kane. She spend one winter with a cousin at Mesa, Ariz., doing temple work. She sold her farm a few years ago and lived in an apartment in Byron. Later she bought a trailer house and stayed at Deaver near Evelyn and last year she stayed in her trailer near Mary, at Lovell. In July she went to Price, Utah with Dolly Eva. There she had the flu and she never could recover from the effects of it, she died Christmas morning in the Price hospital where she had been taken the night before.
