Saari, Senja Maria Tues 28 July 1914 Port Arthur News Chronicle
Falling into a pit of burning sawdust at Wolf Siding, Senja Maria Saari, little daughter of Gust Saari, was so severely burned that she died within a few hours. With her little sister, Maria was walking over to her fathers' sawmill when she dropped through an outer shell of sawdust and fell into a bed of red hot coals. Her father, who was only about twenty feet away from her, rushed back on hearing her cry for assistance and pulled her from the pit. All attempts to help her were vain and the little girl died a few hours later. As she wore neither shoes nor stockings, the coals burned her legs terribly before she was rescued. For two months no fire had been seen in the pit of sawdust which lay near the mill. Some time ago, Mr. Saari burnt some of the rubbish but when the dry weather he, as he had thought, put out the fire. No sign of flames remained and it was believed that the fire had been totally extinguished. Instead it had eaten into the heart of the pile and formed a furnace of coals where the girl walked. The girl was a Finlander, aged three years, nine months and nineteen days. Her father owns the mill at Wolf siding on the P.D. The funeral will be held at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon from Woods Undertaking Rooms where the body was brought last evening.

Strey, Hazel & Gladys Sat 8 Nov 1919 Port Arthur News Chronicle
Trapped in their room by a midnight fire, two girls, aged six and seven years, lost their lives in the flames that devoured the entire home and all other furniture, clothing and other contents at Dorion last night. Escaped from the same fire with absolutely no earthly possessions except the night clothes which they wore when roused by smoke and flames, were the father, mother and three boys, aged fourteen years, three years and one-and-one-half years. The father, Otto A. Strey, is in St. Joseph's General Hospital at Port Arthur suffering severely with burns received in vain efforts to rescue his only daughters and from cuts and bruises to his feet, sustained while walking through the snow at midnight, garbed only in his night clothes, seeking help, while blisters caused by the flames were rising about his face and arms. "He is suffering terribly but is expected to recover" said hospital attendants this afternoon. The fire in the little farm house at Dorion started from some unknown cause and as the family was asleep, it had gained much headway before being noticed. The father was sleeping downstairs with the three-year-old boy and the two had little difficulty getting out. The mother, unable to ascend the stairs for the same reason the father could not go up, flames and smoke, threw the eighteen months' old baby boy out the window into the snow and followed it herself. A fourteen year old boy escaped unaided. This left the two girls, Hazel and Gladys, aged six and seven, who were in another room by themselves unaccounted for and when the father found they had not escaped, he made heroic but unsuccessful efforts to reach them, during which he was badly burned. The little family took shelter in the barn while the father tramped in scant attire over the snow roads to a neighbors house for help. Mr. Strey, suffering severely from burns and from the mental effects of the tragedy was brought to hospital in Port Arthur this morning by Mr. M. Peacock, postmaster of Dorion. He states that when he left the scene of the fire this morning, the ruins were still smoldering and it had been impossible to reach the bodies of the two little girls who perished in the flames. Mr. Peacock has asked the News Chronicle to make an appeal for help for the stricken family which now does not possess a stitch of clothing beyond the night clothing in which they escaped and a few other garments provided by neighbors. All their furniture and possessions are gone and there is no insurance. Donations any be sent to Mr. Peacock, postmaster, Dorion, or to Ald. George Gibbon, chairman of the Port Arthur city council's relief committee.
