Thursday, 30 August 1951Finley Judd, 43, a former railroad section laborer, was accidently burned to death Saturday at his home near Scoville in Owsley county.
Details surrounding Judd's death are obscure but it was learned that it came through the agency of a kerosene lamp. Owsley County officers investigating the accident were quoted as saying that Judd was at home alone at the time and appeared to have been sitting at a table with a kerosene lamp in front of him. The conjecture is that he fell asleep and somehow pulled the lamp into his lap thereby catching his clothes on fire.
King Justice of the Pennington Funeral Home stated that all Judd's clothes except his belt and shoes had been burned off his body.
Funeral services were held for Judd Monday at the Salt Lick church by the Rev. Kostinen. Burial was in the Isaacs cemetery with the Pennington funeral home in charge.
