At least two other children escaped, apparently without injury. According to Granite County Sheriff Nick Munis, the children's mother was at the home of a neighbor when the fire started. The father was reportedly attending a miners union meeting. The two escaping the flames were Lenore, 13, and a younger sister. Mrs. Abbey reportedly had two of the couple's six children with her. Another daughter attends the State Training School in Boulder. The 13-year-old was hospitalized for shock and put under sedation. The fire, which started at about 10:45, raced through the wooden structure with such speed the house was engulfed in flames before it was reported to firemen. It quickly reduced the building to rubble and spread to an adjoining home, owned by Emery Carnegie, causing considerable damage. Stuart's body was found near the front entrance to the home, indicating he had attempted to escape. Authorities reported his body was burned beyond recognition. The body is in the Wilson Funeral Home. Munis said he had never seen a building go up in flames so rapidly. "It was as if the building had exploded," he said.
