GAS EXPLOSION
Wainfleet News
[Welland Tribune, 25 February 1910]
When Mrs. Wesley Ellsworth struck a match to light a fire in the back kitchen store on Saturday something happened. It was an explosion, and the building shook as the stove blew to pieces and bricks tumbled down off the chimney. It seems the stove had not been used this winter and the gas was leaking, unbeknown to Mrs. Ellsworth, so that when she struck the match the fireworks commenced. No person was hurt. The Ellsworths live on the Forks Road about a mile from Marshville.
