THE OLD CABIN BURNED
[Welland Tribune, 3 January 1890]
The old log cabin which stood in the field west of Mr. D. McConachie’s residence in the fourth ward was burned on Sunday morning about 9.30 o’clock. The cabin was a relic of Welland’s pioneer days. At one time it was the home of that noted colored character the late “old Black Joe.” Since then Aunt Chloe has lived in the log house; but all tenants had deserted it of late years, and it was unoccupied when burned. It is supposed that tramps set it on fire. The fire department was called out, but they did not pull their carts through the mud. The old hut was not worth the trouble.
Fire: 29 December 1889
