SILAS STANLAKE SUFFERED A
HEAVY LOSS,
A most disa trues. fire occurred at
the hone of Sil s; Stanlake, theee miles
west sof Exeter on Friday might about
11,30 o'clock, hen, in, some manner
"his home caugdi, on fire after the fam-
ily lead retired,and his wife, Maud
Marie Porter, a, ad 38e has brother Al-
bert Stardake,, -ted 46,. and four of
his five • child Clarence Audrey,
aged 12; Char e, aged 9; Wilfred, ag-
ed 4; and Ar ter Gilbert, ababe' of
three weeks, vere .eithere suffocated
or burned. to a e,at
Shortly after the family had re-
tired Mr. Stant • e thought he heard
rain falling an, ei rood, but saoneafter
being undecide as to the cause of
the ;noise, he ern: t down stairs, and
was horrified tolfind the, kitchen in
flames, He jtnr diately called to
the family to get: up and come, down
stairs, while he tempted to put
out :the fire by g• tting a fire ext.inn-
guisher which hutig in the. kitchen.
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.
"the Stanlake home b jng in. the
country and a frame building, noth-
ing could be donee to save the property
from the flames; bat those who were
attracted to the .scenic prevente4d'the

entirely destroyed made the + search
