Parvianem, Henry Thurs 20 Sept 1906 Fort William Daily Times Journal
As a result of a dynamite cap having been inadvertently duscharged yesterday on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific near Finmark, three men are dead and eight more or less seriously injured. The accident was one of the worst of its kind that has taken place in this district for the past year. The following are dead: Peter Ventilaimen, aged 23 years, Henry Parvianen, aged 22 years, Nestor Rajala, aged 48 years. Ventilaimen and Parvianen were instanly killed and Rajala succumbed some two or three hours later. The other eight men injured were taken to the private hospital at Foley Bros. at Kaministikwia. It is thought that all of the latter will recover. At the time of the accident, the victims of the explosion were engaged in removing debris from the Finmark cut, where considerable blasting had been done on the previous day. By some unfortunate circumstance one of the men stopped on or struck and exploded one of the caps, which had not been discharged with several other shots as thought. In an instant hundreds of pounds of earth, huge pieces of rock and men were hurled in every direction. The only three persons killed is little short of a miracle. The men killed were brought back last night to Fort William and taken to Piper's Undertaking Parlors, from whence the funerals were held this afternoon. There was no inquest. Dr. Ewing, chief surgeon for Foley Bros. who was seen today, stated that the eight men now in the hospital at Kaministikwia were not seriously injured, and that all of them would likely be back at work in the course of the next two or three weeks.

Paulson, Paul Sat 13 Nov 1926 Fort William Daily Times Journal
Six hardy residents of Pearson Township today are carrying back to civilization the body of their former neighbor Paul Paulson, 46 years old, who dropped dead Thursday afternoon while trudging along a trail in the trapping area. The spot where Paulson fell is in a forest region impenetrable for any vehicle or team and the men will have to carry the body out a distance of 16 miles as best they can. It will be a strenuous task as well as a sad one for Mr. Paulson was esteemed as a good neighbor and his loss is felt keenly. Paulson had gone into the woods with a young man, Reino Stemback, and they were about to engage in a season's trapping. Thursday afternoon they were walking along a trail, Paulson in the rear. Hearing a gasp behind him Stemback turned around and saw Paulson lying on the ground. When he reached the man's side life was extinct. The youth hastened 16 miles through the forest to give alarm and today a party has gone on foot to carry the body back to Pearson Township. Magistrate Palling and Provincial Police officials will go out to Pearson as soon as they receive word that the body has arrived. It is not believed that there will be any necessity for an inquest.

Perry, Alvin Tues 23 Jan 1912 Fort William Daily Times Journal
Accidentally shot thought the stomach by his own rifle. That was the astounding discovery made yesterday afternoon by Freeman Perry, the father of his son, Alvin Perry, in Slate River Valley. The young man was working in the woods and as usual took his gun with him as his mother had particularly requested that he bring in a rabbit. As night approached the father became anxious and several times remarked that he had better go out and see if anything had happened to "Allie" But the mother told him not to worry as "Allie" always stayed until the last minute. But finally the father went and on the trail about half mile from home he found the body of the boy. Life was gone but the accident had happened a short time previous. The supposition is that, the day's work done, the boy had started homeward but dropping his axe or from some cause had stooped and in doing so the trigger had caught the brush discharging the gun, the bullet entering the stomach. The deceased young man would have been 21 years old next Sunday, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Perry, well-known in the city and highly respected citizens of the valley. About five years ago they lost a son Morris, the eldest on bridge construction on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. He fell from the structural work and was drowned. Carl, the oldest son living is a draughtsman in the office of Engineer Considine of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and two younger sons are with survey parties on the Canadian Northern. Margaret, the daughter is attending the collegiate institute here.

Pykari, John Wed 2 Oct 1907 Port Arthur News Chronicle
Coroner Birdsall returned to the city last evening from Hymers, where he was called to investigate the death of John Pykari, who was found dead in the bush on Monday by George Hymers. Coroner Birdsall stated that the young man's death was accidental. The father believing that the youngster was with his elder brother thought that everything was right until many days had passed and the boy failed to put in an appearance. Search parties were immediately sent out and it was not until last Monday that the body was found lying in the bush in the vicinity of Hymers. It appears the that the boy was sliding down a hill when he slipped and fell, the rifle which he was carrying, exploding the bullet entering his chest above the heart. It was not necessary to hold an inquest and the unfortunate boy will be buried today.
