  • Historical Information: The Morning Freeman Saint John February 3 1866 The Grand Falls (Victoria Co.) correspondent of Woodstock papers under date 25th Jan. says that at midnight 24th the cry of fire alarmed the town to discover the dwelling of John LESLIE in flames - more sad to relate his remains were found in the chimney place after the extinguishing of the fire in the morning. The deceased was among the first settlers in the town, having removed there from Fredericton (York Co.) where he had at one time followed the occupation of baker. A still greater calamity by fire attended with the loss of two lives occurred in a lumber camp opposite Tobique (Victoria Co.) last night. The survivor Elisha LARLEE was one of the party of three who was aroused by fire in actual contact. He with difficulty reached the door which the other two, George INMAN and ADAMS failed to do. With his face and hands most severely burned and in a measure destitute of clothing. LARLEE mounted a horse and succeeded in reaching the settlement, badly frozen by exposure. Doubts are entertained of LARLEE surviving his sufferings.
