Johnstown, Dec. 28.—Myron Cromer aged about 20, a resident of Keck Center, narrowly escaped being killed, when seriously injured by the explosion of a water front in a kitchen range at his home yesterday noon. His case was reported as serious but. favorable last evening.
Suffering from loss of blood, Cromer displayed remarkable courage in subduing a blaze that threatened entire destruction, of his home and dropped exhausted in the road while summoning Therman Christman, a. neighbor, who rushed the injured man to the Nathan Littauer hospital, Gloversville.
Cromer who is well known in Johnstown where he has been employed on different occasions was; away from the house on Christmas, but returned yesterday morning when he started a fire in the stove and seated himself on a sofa nearby to roll a cigarette The fire cracked and burned briskly when without warning the explosion came, reducing the heater to mere pieces. Cromer’s escape from being killed is reported to have been miraculous as he turned his head for some reason just as flying pieces of metal struck him glancing blows on the face and forehead.
Following the accident many recalled hearing the detonation of the explosion for miles around the locality, but on account of the hunting season did not realize what had happened.
The interior of the room was a jumbled mess as a result of the explosion. A good part of the stove went through a hole approximately one and one half feet in diameter in the ceiling, to the second floor of the frame building. A radio in the room was hurled through a window taking the sash and part of the frame work of the window with it. Pieces of glass and the stove were picked up forty feet from the side of the building where they went out. Two chairs were broken besides other articles broken or covered with soot and debris from the explosion. An accurate account of the property damage could not be estimated last evening but was estimated to be upward of $500.

She was a 1941 graduate of Johnstown High School.
Iva married Franklin Winsman in 1946. He died in 1963. In 1964, she married Rudolph Zajicek. He died in 1995. Iva was a devoted wife who always said that she had been blessed with two wonderful husbands.

She also held the distinction as being City National’s first female officer as she served as a 2nd Vice-President. She and her family were very proud of her accomplishments.
