March 18, 1950: Mr. and Mrs. Neil Scott save their four children from a fire that destroys their home at Magnolia Corners, and Mrs. Scott's brothers, John and James Barrenger, save her husband from the blaze. Mrs. Scott rescues daughters Judy, 8, and Neila, 5, from the smoke choked first floor by kicking out a window and lowering them and herself to safety. Scott makes his way through flames and smoke to the second floor and drops Lewis, 3, into the arms of his wife and Norma, 2, into the arms of James Barrenger, who just arrived on the scene of the early morning fire. Burned and overcome by smoke, Scott collapses, and his brothers-in-law climb two ladders to get to him. They bring him down with the help of three unidentified passers-by. Scott, 43, dies the next day in Mercy Hospital. |
Neil and Margaret are both buried in East Magnolia Cemetery, Magnolia, WI. |
