• Documents		Obituary- Marney, Gladys 1 Mrs. Ben Marney dies in home fire Mrs. Edna Marney, 58, of Rossville died early Wednesday morning from results of a fire that nearly burned her home to the ground. Rossville Fire Department answered the alarm turned in by neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Marney at 2:30 a. m. Wednesday. When firemen arrived at the scene the front portion of the small three room home was in flames. Four hoses were put on the flames and it was not until about 45 minutes later that Mrs. Marney was found, fully clothed, in the bathroom of the home. Earlier, her husband, who fled the flames, said he didn't know where she was. Although the flames were confined to the front two rooms of the home, Mrs. Marney suffered burns about her face, arms and legs. She probably died from smoke and heat. The fire was believed to have started in the front room in the southeast corner and quickly spread to the wall and roof. It is possible a cigarette in a chair in that location could have started the fire. Mrs. Marney may have been trying to fight the fire herself and in leaving the home took the door to the bathroom which is next to the back door. She was pronounced dead on arrival at a Topeka hospital. Mrs. Marney was born in Valencia on October 26, 1902 and had lived in Rossville the past 40 years. She is survived by her husband, Ben B. Marney of Rossville; one son, Staff Sgt. Dean Marney of the U. S. Air Force in England; one daughter, Louise Sebring of Arizona; her father, Bob Alexander of Topeka; two brothers, Edward Alexander of Wichita, and Vernon Alexander of Texas; and five grandchildren. Burial will be in Rossville Cemetery with Hurley Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
