the Ex-
A tongue of flame which
across the sidewalk at a fire
en Beattie's Beauty Shop on
night severely burned two
and two other firemen narrowly es
caped being burned also. Walter
Lockridge and Howard Fuller were
severely burned about the hands and
face. They went inside the building
with the hose and when the water hit
the fire the flames gushed forth and
before they could get out of the build
ing which is just a few steps, they
were .badly burned. Walter was giv
en medical treatment by Dr. McKib-
bon and then taken to the hospital.
Howard was rushed to Dr. Connell’s
office and after treatment was also
taken to the hospital. Fire Chief A-
Louttit and Fireman John Raby had
a close call, their hair being singed,
but they successfully ducked the
flame.
The fire started about 10.30 and at
first it looked as if it was quite an
ordinary fire and little difficulty
would be encountered. It it had not
been for this sudden burst of flame
it would not have amounted to much.
This unexpected 'development, how
ever, was just too bad as the two
men were in the building at the time.
The Beauty Parlour is a wreck in
side, all the contents being destroy
ed. The firemen were successful in
confining the blaze to the beauty par
lour. The < utside of the building was
not damaged nor was Mr. ’Haugh’s
shoe repair shop next door.

This afternoon (Wednesday) Jan
uary 20th, Mr, and Mrs. Thos, Scott,
Diagonal Road, are celebrating their
56th wedding anniversary. Both are
enjoying a fair measure of health. Mr.
Scott makes a trip down town each
day for his paper and Mrs. Scott, who
has not been enjoying good health
for some time, now is much better
and carries on her duties about the
home,
Mrs. Scott, who is in her 75th year
was born on the second of Morris, the
daughter of the late Mr .and Mrs.
John Roe, pioneers of Morris town
ship. It was at her parents home on
Jan. 20th, 1881 that this happy couple
were married and they lived at Lot 9,
Concession 2, Morris, until they ‘ re
tired to Wingham 23 years ago.
Mr. Scott was born in the township
of Albion, County of Feel, and when
a lad of 14 years he moved with his
parents to Lot 9, Con. 2, Morris. He
has lived all his life since in this dis
trict, except for a few years spent in
Teeswater and Petrolia. He is in his
89tli year and enjoys talking of the
days when Lower Town was the place
of business for this district and Wing
ham was just getting started.
The year they were married (1881)
was the time that the fires caused
such great damage in Michigan and
the sun here was blotted out’ by the
smoke and ashes that were carried by
the wind. This was in September, it
was known as the dark day. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Scott talked of this day shapes and sizes which were present-
how it was like night and the fish ed to Mr. and Mrs. Chettleburgh and
died in the rivers/
When Mr. Scott first came to Mor
ris and until after he was married they
used oxen on the farm and he prides
himself that he was one of the best
oxen drivers of his day.. When the
horses replaced the oxen he took
much pleasure in driving’.a team but
remarked that the oxen tj^d b.een very
useful also.
Foley’s store was then where the
Kent Block is now and a log hotel
was on the site of the now Queens
Hotel. He remembers when the Ex
change Hotel (now a gas station site)
was built on the corner of Victoria
and Josephine Streets; At this time
Lower Wingham was a thriving cen
tre with stores ,saw mills, etc. Mr.
Scott helped clear the wood off the
land where the Anglican church now
stands. He was a young man then
and the English church was located
just the other side of where Lloyd’s
factory is now ,on John St. When
this building was torn down Mayor
Hanna’s father ...bought the building
and used the brick to build some hous
es on John St. west.
To keep himself fit during the win
ter months Mr. Scott purchased 7 or
8 cords of wood so that he could get
exercise from splitting it.
They have 5 daughters and one son
Mrs. Edwin (Emma) Londsbury of
Philadelphia; Mrs. Donald (Mary)
