Furnace Gases Fill Hahn Home in Monroe Twp.; 3 Treated at Hospital

A family of six narrowly escaped death from carbon monoxide poisoning early last Friday morning. Fumes from a hand-fired coal furnace were blamed.

Stricken during the night were Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hahn and their four chilcren, of Monroe Township, R. R. 1, Selinsgrove. They included Ben, 19; Joan, 17; Esther, 12, and Daniel, 8.

Family was evidently saved from asphixiation when Esther Hahn awoke about 2 A.M. Friday and attempted to walk to the bathroom. She was staggering and unable to talk when the noise aroused her mother, who also felt ill. She in turn awoke Mr. Hahn who summoned the Americus ambulance from Sunbury.

Leaving the other three children asleep at home, the father followed the ambulance to Community Hospital, Sunbury, in his own car, unaware of the nature of the illness of his wife and daughter. He later became ill himself, but not until after he had telephoned to his house to alert the rest of the family.

Ben Hahn, awakened by the ringing of the telephone, staggered and fell as he went downstairs to answer it. He then managed to climb back upstairs, where he found Joan on the floor of her bedroom, in a dazed condition. They awoke the youngest boy and went outside, where they quickly recovered in the fresh air.

Mr. and Mrs. Hahn and Esther responded promptly to dispensary care and returned home during the night. Doors and windows of the house were opened to provide ventilation.

Carbon monoxide gas was believed to have been caused by an accumulation of soot over the summer months, rather than by any defect in the furnace.

John Black, father of Evelyn Maye "Black", is named on her marriage record,Pennsylvania, Marriages, 1852-1968 [database on-line]. Lehi, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2016. Evelyn was listed on the 1910 census with her mother's surname, Kline, and her mother was unmarried.

The next door neighbor of the Klines in 1900 was a Mary Black, age 65, widow of William Black, with only her grandson, George (son of her son William), age 11, in the household. Possibly the John Black who was the father of Evelyn Maye Kline had some family relationship with this Mary Black. There were multiple men named John Black who lived in the area of Franklin County in the first decade of the 20th century -- identification of the father of Evelyn Kline appears to be unfeasible with publicly available documentation.
