Distressing Boston Fire Kills Three in Four Story Bakery Block
A Wednesday night blaze at the Broad street and Hamilton Avenue corner gutted a four story building housing a bakery on the ground floor and Irish families above. John Murphy, his wife and three children died in the flames while Timothy Sullivan, who leaped from a window with a child saved below, teetered between life and death. The fire department limited the spread, though Sullivan’s fate remained poor for a time. The ages of the children were about 10, 6, and 2. Additional occupants escaped with severe danger. The article then carries an editorial brief from the Washington Telegraph, May 20, reflecting on political alignments around General Jackson, Mr. Calhoun, and the 1830 reelection context involving Van Buren and the Union.
