Springhill Record – Jan. 6, 1948 – Rhodes Letcher’s Garage Gutted by Fire
Fire of unknown origin breaking out at 4:30 a.m. Thursday morning, January 1st, did considerable damage to Rhodes Letcher’s Garage near Miller Corner.
Originating in the office, where it is thought it might have been started by a short circuit, the fire destroyed the office and records and spread into the workshop where Mr. Letcher’s service truck, a 1942 Chev. Coupe and a two and a half ton truck belonging to Charlie Thompson of South Brook suffered damage.
The local fire department was on the spot in good time after the alarm was sounded, but the lack of hydrants in the area hampered their work. The loss was partially covered by insurance.
April 15, 1948 – Tillot Smith’s Sugar Camp Destroyed
Friends will be sorry to hear that Tillot Smith lost his sugar camp on Friday when it was completely destroyed by fire during the night. As no one was in the camp at the time, all equipment was lost along with fourteen gallons of syrup. There was no insurance on the camp.
Osborne Beaton Injured in Mine
Osborne Beaton is in hospital today as a result of an injury sustained in the 6700 wall of No. 4 mine Wednesday when a large stone measuring 14 feet long and 12 to 14 inches thick came down as he was timbering the roof. The huge stone pushed Beaton towards the pans which protected him as he fell and took the weight. As it broke away the stone broke three other timbers already erected.
At the time of the accident Mr. Beaton was being assisted by Wilfred Brown, an official, who happened to be on the low side and clear of the stone. Beaton suffered a broken right leg and shock. His left arm was badly scratched and bruised and there were injuries to his shoulder which have not yet been determined.
