Fire destroys May Street factory and buries cottage occupants
A blaze at the S. J. Carter molding and picture frame factory at 124 and 120 May Street ignited shortly after 9 am. The wall of the adjacent five story building collapsed onto the nearby cottage, burying Stephen Carter, his uncle and aunt, and two nieces. Carter escaped with a broken leg and internal injuries. the others were hoped dead. Firefighters faced entangled debris and spreading flames to nearby Lincolno Tea and Larsen bedstead factories. The cause is unknown though varnish combustion is suspected. The damaged brick building cost about 30,000 dollars with total losses nearing 73,000 including machinery and stock.
