• Notes

  from "The Minneapolis Star", 23 Feb 1922 (newspapers.com) Fred Clos, 13 years old, is expected to survive burns received early this morning when a gas heater in the bedroom occupied by him and his brother, William, 14, set fire to a partition, in their home, 1245 Woodbridge street. The boy was saved from immediate death by the heroic action of William, who, after arousing him and leaping from a window to safety, obtained a ladder and returned to carry him to safety. William was slightly burned, as was also his father, Michael Clos, who tried to reach the room from the interior of the house. Damage to the building was about $500. from "The Minneapolis Star", 24 Feb 1922 (newspapers.com) The heroic rescue of Fred Clos, 13 years old , from the burning family home in St. Paul by William Clos, his brother, 14, was futile. Fred Clos died early today at the city hospital from burns.
