Immediately, howe'vler, the maim, por- tion of the house burst into ,(lames and it was impossible far Mr. Stan - lake to get up, th'e'l stairs eto, rescue those in the upper dstarey. One son, Harry, aged 15, andan adopted daugh- ter, Beatrice. Edwards were the,only children saved as they, had come own stairs, and Mr. Stauilake thrust them through a window which ha had brok- en open. Mr. Stnnlalce• was, onlyable to save himself as the house had be- come dense with snroka As it was bis hair was singed by the fire, and be was considerably bet by glass. The stairway, unfortunately opened into the living xoom, and; as soon, as the kitchen door was a ,cned the whole upstairs became flooded with smoke, and in a few secon'de was a mass of flames.- The fire wes , wticeal, by.several res- idents in Exeter, anti neighbors, who immediately hurried to the scene, aril did what tbey could, to stay the pro- gress of the fire. Many, however did not hear of the sad Catastrophe until the next marin,ing, by jwhich time the tire was beginning to cool down and search was made foe, he bodies. Only portioes of the rem* s were aecover- ed, and these were ' en to the, fuer- eral parlors of Mr. .M. E. 'Gardener, Exeter from which 'plaice the funeral took .place :on Stand y aftern,•aon . to the Exeter cemeter e The service was conducted by Rv. A. A. Trumpet and a great many people gathered in the opera house to 'pay tn.eir last respects to the deceased. The cause of the fine stail remains a mystery, and probably always wilt. Many theories are advanced however: A smudge, had been lighted in the evening cin a cement platform out- side the house, to drive away the nr;os- quito.es, but this had been carefully put out before the f 1y retired. The le eepr d that pos- sibly a stick not etirely burned out had been removed from the stove and thrown down. Mr. Stanlake's first view; -of the fere indicated that the blade was ,beyond the stave, and this would lead one to believe the latter theory, . Mrs, Stanlake before her marriage taught school at Fairfield and at the school near lir. Staunlake)'s home, and they were married soane sixteen year; ago. She was boron at Clinton and was raised from a ,child by Mr. David fiplady of that tow,. Osie brother, Howard Porter of Montreal, survives. Albert Staneake Was bone on the homestead and had lived there all his life, first with tie parents and lxt riy with has nrother. Besides his Brother he is survived by his mother, ales Samuel Stanlake and One sister, of Exeter.' 'He and .Mrs. Stanlake un- doubtedly p'ereshe!d in their efforts as save the children,. .• The :sad calamity is the worst that has ever been .expeeieinced in , this n,eiehborhoad, and has cast a glooan over the whole, co'mmuuiity. 'the sur- viving relatives` have; the sincerest sym- pathy of all.
