Three Children Burned to Death - Shocking Tragedy at Little Current - date unknown
On Wednesday, August 4, about noon the fire bell rang and as usual
people rushed to find out where the fire was. It was found to be a small
barn and other buildings on Bruce Wilkin's place. The engine could do
nothing on account of the hay, etc., and in a very short time the buildings
were in a mass of flames. As the wind was blowing from a safe quarter there
seemed to be no more danger. The town received a severe shock when the word
went around that three young children who had been sleeping in the hay mow
of one of the buildings, had perished in the flames. The children were
between the ages of 5 and 6 years of age, two of them belonging to Mrs.
Utley, her only children, and the other to Mr. Wilkins. An inquest is being
conducted.
