>In, 1894, Virginia Sinclair Shurter died in Samsonville, NY of what the
>family, then, called a "burning." Virginia was an adult, mother of five
>children: Joseph, Caroline (called Cad), Guy, Eva, and Virginia (often
>called Virge), who is my materal grandmother. The event was reported,
>and then recalled in the "Kingston (NY) Freeman" newspaper in the
>1950's. The burning occurred with an iron and dry cleaning solvent. Her
>clothes caught fire.

>My maternal grandmother "Virge" was adopted by her cousin, Virginia
>Sinclair Boice Seeley, and her husband Frank Barrows Seeley of Kingston,
>NY. Their mothers, Virginia Sinclair Shurter and Virginia Sinclair
>Boice were sisters. It is the sisters' father, whom I believe to be
>named Joseph, who I am seeking. I'll be happy to fax you a copy of the
>article if you think there might be a connection.
