TWO FIRES
[Welland Tribune, 28 September 1915]
Fire broke out at the home of Wm. Taylor, Albina St., Saturday morning, about 2.30. Mr. Taylor was the only occupant of the house at the time. He was in bed, and the fire had failed to awaken him. When the neighbors fetched him out, he was partly suffocated by the smoke. Dr. Binns was called and after working over him for a short time, Mr. Taylor revived.
The fire started from defective wiring in the kitchen. The house was gutted and practically all the contents destroyed. The house was owned by J.W. Frollick of Canboro. The loss of $350 is partly covered by insurance.
Mrs. Taylor has been in the hospital for over six weeks undergoing an operation.
A small blaze started in the house of Mrs. Smith, 290 East Main Street, about 9 o’clock Saturday morning but was extinguished before the firemen arrived. The damage was small.
