An update on the accidents;

My dad worked for REA(Melvin Warner) about 1952- 1954.He was severely burned by electricity. He lost his right hand due to this accident. I know there was a write up in the paper about it, cause I do remember seeing it. The accident may have happened not too long after my sister died(1952) but dates are very cloudy for me.

I do know there was a horrible train crash about that time, and in that time frame my grandad (George Philemon Warner)was severely burned by an exploding gas refrigerator. Don't know who was first grandad or my dad. Grandad lived in Lebanon KS.

They both were in the hospital about the same time. The train victims were taken to the hospital my dad was in.
I was about 5 -6 years old. So childhood memories aren't clear. Anyway I would like info if anyone could direct me to the info I would greatly appreciate it.
