Two Lose Lives As Fire Destroys Home In Ramsay
The citizens of Ramsay Township were awakened to stark tragedy in their midst early Wednesday morning, June 19 when two of their members lost their lives in a fire on the 7th line of the Township. The fire which destroyed the large stone home of Mr W.H. Poole, took the lives of his son, Edward, aged 35 and Edward's little son, Sterling, 5 years. In bed and asleep upstairs when the fire broke out were Mr and Mrs W.H. Poole, Edward and his wife Ruth, son Sterling and Brenda Lee Poole, year old daughter of Mr and Mrs Harry Poole of Ottawa. The fire broke out in the kitchen, living room below and had made tremendous headway when noticed. Edward broke the bedroom window and help his wife and Brenda Lee out of the window and dropped them to the ground. He then turned to rescue his son, nearby. His wife heard him call, "O Ruth, I'm gone," and it is believed the floor gave away. Mr and Mrs W.H. Poole were able to make their way outdoors via the front door of the house. Another son, Jack was in Ottawa at the time. Mrs Poole Jr., drove to Mr Robert Cochran's to call for help but their telephone was on the same circuit and was out of order. The Cochrans then went to Mr Milton Cochran's home and sounded the alarm. The siren sounded in Almonte about 1.15 a.m. and Almonte and Pakenham brigades responded. All they were able to do was to save the outbuildings. No reason has been advanced so far for the fire. The house was heated with an oil furnace and cooking was done with electricity. Mrs Ruth Poole and Brenda Lee are in the Almonte General Hospital. Mrs Poole is suffering from shock and severe foot injuries which include burns and cuts from broken glass. Brenda Lee suffered burns about the head. Mr and Mrs Poole are at the home of Mr and Mrs Robert Cochran at present. The Almonte Fire Brigade came back to town about 3.20 a.m. and returned to the scene at 5 a.m. They pumped water from the Indian River to cool the ashes so that the two bodies could be recovered.
