Fire Devastates Montreal Convent Killing Many
A Montreal fire destroyed St. Anne's convent at St. Genevieve early today. Estimates place fatalities around twenty, with thirteen confirmed dead among elderly boarders and students aged eleven to eighteen. The village lacked a fire brigade and telephone lines failed to summon Montreal for aid. Sisters' efforts saved many lives, though chaos and cold winds worsened suffering as villagers sheltered the young and aged in their homes.
