Obit from the Quincy Whig Newspaper Oct 21, 1916 page 3, Quincy IL.--August GILKER died October 20, 1916--Aged Man Suffocates in Paint Shop Fire--"Gus" GILKER, 70 Years Old, Victum of Flames in KERN Paint Shop Fire.--When he is Trapped in his Second Story Room---Flames Cut Off Escape. August "Gus" GILKER, 70 years old a junk dealer was suffocated and his body badly burned in a fire at 6 o'clock Friday evening in the E.P. Kern Paint shop, located in the alley in the rear of the Irwin-Overland company's garage. Mr. GILKER had lived for several years by himself, in the upper room of the shop. Every effort was made by the firemen to get the man in the second story, but they failed as the exterior of the building was a total mass of flames when they arrived. As soon as the fire was under control the firemen went into the building and the body was carried out of the south entrance.-- "Hemmed in The Room"-- Mr. GILKER was hemmed in the room, with heavy screening at each of the four windows, which made it impossible to escape only by way of going down the stairway. When found he was lying about midway in the room, with his body being toward the door, with his head on the hearth of a cook stove. Just how the fire originated is unknown. The building was a story and a half brick structure and the first floor was used by Mr. Kern, in connection with his business as a paint shop and a storage room for his tools.--"Building in Flames"-- The fire was first discovered by Mr. KERN at about 6 o'clock when he finished feeding hid horse which was in an adjoining shed to the shop. He opened the door of the room and flames burst out, forcing him back into the alley. His first thought was of the whereabouts of Mr. GILKER. He rushed to the Irwin garage where the fire alarm was turned in the crew and apparatus of the Nos.1,2,3 and 4 stations responding. Firemen responded to the alarm without any delays and three lines of hose were run from the hydrants in Maine Street, across the vacant lot, used by the Overland company. The No. 2 chemical line was first used, but when the three forceful streams of water were turned on the blaze the fire was checked, but was sometime before it was entirely put out.-- "Automoble Causes Delay"-- Some little delay was at first experienced, as the hydrant between Third and Fourth in Maine was barred from use, as an automobile was directly in front of it, which had to moved before the hose could be connected. The fire started in the first floor of the building and worked it's way up the stairway into the roof. There was no ceiling over the second story floor, and the flames made great head way. The lower room contained valuable paints, as well as a large quantity of wall paper and expensive tools, which were destroyed. There was a quantity of rope and painting ladders in the room. The No.3 streamer was used as was No. 1 auto pumping engine. When the fire was first discovered, employees of Irwin-Overland garage put the 50 extinguishers in the garage into service, which checked the blaze to a certain extent until the firemen arrived, which was but a short time.-- "Body Taken to FREIBURG'S"-- The body was taken to the FREIBURG undertaking establishment in the Freiburg ambulance, where it will be prepared for burial. Judge Ben HECKLE, acting coroner in the absence of Coroner M.J. HALEY, who is confined to his home by illness, will arrange for a coroner's inquest some time today. Mr. GILKER followed the junk gathering business, and had lived in Quincy for some time. It is understood that he has either a brother or sister in Hannibal, Mo. The building is owned by Harry WOOD, proprietor of the Wood Hotel, Mr. KERN had not been at his shop between 2 o'clock and the time that the fire was discovered. Mr. GILKER was known to have a habit of going to bed about 5 o'clock and it is possible that the was asleep when the smoke entered his room. He probably staggered across the room and fell against the stove.
