FIRE – JOHN ROGER’S BARN
[Welland Tribune, 30 July 1897]
At 5.30 o’clock (yesterday) Thursday morning fire broke out in the John Roger’s barn, just in the rear of his house, on East Main street. The garden hose was put on and did good service in keeping the fire from spreading until the hose carts arrived, when the flames were at once subdued, but not until the building, which was a small frame one, was practically destroyed. All the contents, except about a ton of hay were saved. The horse, buggy, cutter, harness, bag of oats and other things were taken out. The fire started in the mow and must have been caused by tramps who probably slept there. The building was insured for $50; loss about $100.
