Mr. Greer died Wednesday night in the veterans hospital in Boise. The body will be sent to Nyssa for interment. Funeral services have not been aranged. Greer's burns extended over prac tically all of his body, exoept his back, and over his arms, hands, legs and face. He was taken to the Nyssa Nursing home in a critical condition shortly after the fire at 7:30 Friday morning. After showing some improvement he was taken to the veterans hospital in Boise in the Nyssa Funeral home ambulance. The explosion occurred in a cabin at the Riverside camp, operated by John Thomson near the Snake river bridge. Greer placed some wood in a stove and applied some waste oil, which he had taken home from the garage where he was employed. He replaced the cap on the five-gallon can and was setting it on the floor when his wife is said to have touched a match to the fuel. The ignition caused the can to explode, throwing the burn ing oil onto Greer and setting fire to the furniture and house. The furniture, owned by Thomson, and the Inside of the two-room cab in were badly damaged. The loss was partly covered by insurance.
