HOUSE BURNED IN MAPLE LEAF PARK
Occupants Were Absent at The Time and Cause of Fire is Unknown
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 3 May 1921]
A two storey frame house on Dain Avenue, Maple Leaf Park, in Crowland Township, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. T. Putshire, was razed to the ground by fire art an early hour on Friday morning.
Mr Puthsire is a night employee of the Electro Metals and had gone to his work as usual. Mrs. Putshire was in Welland visiting friends. Neighbors who live in the vicinity of the house state that they had seen Mrs. Putshire going down town in the early evening. Nobody was in the house at the time of the fire.
About 2.45 on Friday morning the Crowland Police station received a telephone call notifying them that a house on Dain Avenue was in flames. The Crowland Fire department made a quick response and after putting up a stiff fight for two hours, were unable to save the building.
The cause is unknown, and the Fire Department can give no clue to what would have caused the fire.
