NEARLY A FIRE
[Welland Tribune, 17 March 1905]
The residence of Mrs. E. Peart, West Main street, was very nearly the scene of a disastrous fire on Sunday evening about church time. A burnt tablecloth, burnt carpets, and the remains of what were once curtains were a result of a few minutes work of the fire fiend. Mrs. Peart was alone in the house at the time and had just lighted a gas jet which projected from an archway but unfortunately did not extinguish the match but involuntarily touched it to the fine chenille curtains close by and they were up in smoke in an instant. Mr. Harry Somerville happened to be passing at the time, and helped Mrs. Peart to extinguish the flames.
