KANSAN MAY DIE FROM BURNSEL DORADO, KAN., Sept. 18--Ralph Surpluss, an employe(sic) at a local refinery, was seriously burned today when a gasoline explosion occurred at the pumphouse of the refinery. Little hope is entertained for his recovery.
Ralph Surpluss survived his injuries, and in four more years would get married, and have a son whom he named Ralph Surpluss, Jr. A little irony, I guess. Ralph Surpluss was my granduncle on my mother's maternal side.
