    Obituary:
    FOUR CHILDREN DIE OF SMOKE, Kerosene stove blows up in Sherwood farmhouse as parents milk
    Journal special correspondence, Appleton, Wisconsin-
    Four small children perished Thursday as their parents tried vainly to rescue them from a smoke-filled farmhouse at Sherwood, 14 miles east of here in Calumet County. The children were those of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Tennyson. Coroner John Knauf of Calumet County said they were asphyxiated after a kerosene stove exploded and sent clouds of smoke through the two-story frame structure, all the windows of which were closed. Damage to the house was limited chiefly to that caused by heat and smoke. According to Knauf, the parents were milking in their barn when Mrs. Tennyson noticed smoke coming from the direction of the house. Hurrying to the house, the father and mother saw flames through the windows of the first floor and shafts of smoke emanating from the door jams and window casings. Unable to get through the doors, they got ladders with which they reached the second floor where the children were sleeping. Climbing through a window Tennyson, removed the oldest child, Joseph, five, but was prevented by smoke from reaching the others. Volunteer firemen, summoned from Sherwood brought out the others - Patsy, 3; Francis, 2, and Phyllis, 5 months. All were dead when removed from the house, the coroner said.
