Frank Baie is Killed in Grass Blaze
Frank Baie, a highly respected citizen and long-time resident of the Schaller community, died of burns at his Ida country farm home late Wednesday afternoon. When the shocking news reached Schaller, grief was universal.
Mr. Baie, in his early 80s, had spent the warm spring afternoon working outside at their farm place. He was cleaning and burning near a young orchard and vineyard.
In order that Mr Baie might finish the work begun, Mrs Baie said she would do the milking. Around five pm, a strong wind came up, and it is believed the fire got out of control and spread through dry blue grass. While it isn't known, it appeared Mr Baie either tripped and fell as he tried to conrol the fire or was overcome by smoke and fumes.
When Mrs Baie came from the barn about 5:30 and didn't see him, she hurried to the area and found the last of his clothing burning from his body. She burned her hands in order to extinguish the flames. All of his clothing except his shoes was burned from his body.
An Ida Grove doctor and the coroner were called and Mrs Baie telephoned her brother, Oris Pyle of Schaller. He hurried to the Baie home and has been assisting with funeral arrangements.
The funeral will be tomorrow, Saturday, at Schaller Methodist church at 2:30, burial in Schaller Cemetery.
Mr Baie and his brother Joseph came to the Schaller community many years ago from State Center, IA and farmed as partners. In recent years after the brothers married, the partnership was dissolved. Each, however, retained valuable farms near Schaller, now farmed by reliable tenants.
Mr and Mrs Joseph Baie who spend the winters at Long Beach, CA, were notified of his brother's death Wednesday night.
Mr and Mrs Frank Baie, nee Dessie Pyle, have been living on a 40 acre farm between and about three miles from Arthur and Ida Grove. Here they had a comfortable home, fine farm buildings, a young orchard, flowers, etc and kept busy and interested.
More details and an account of the funeral will be published next week.

For several years a gang of young bloods have committed various depredations at State Center and vicinity. Farmers and town people had implements, tools and sundry other articles stolen and destroyed, and the miscreants always escaped detection or arrest. A farmer named Crawford, one of the principal sufferers, has just had the premises occupied by two men named Joe and Frank Baie searched by officers, with the result that nearly all the property stolen for several years was found. The Baie boys were arrested and threaten to turn State's evidence against six others, sons of prominent and well-to-do farmers, and interesting developments are expected.
