General Notes: Wife - Nancy Crouse

from Hanover Twp, Washington Co, PA

After the death of her husband, she continued to reside on the old place left by her husband, which she managed until the time of her tragic death. She was standing as a spectator by a boiler house (used by a pipe-line company to transport oil) which had been erected on her property, when the boiler exploded and Mrs. Burns sustained injuries which resulted in her death three days later.
