Bainbridge News & Republican, July 25, 1946
Two little girls, aged six and nine are dead and a nine-room farmhouse is in ashes following a fire which broke out at 2:30 Wednesday morning in the home of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Williams on Carcass brook, midway between Rock Rift on Route 10 and Harvard on Route 30. Braving the flames in frantic efforts to save the children, Wanda, nine, and Sandra, six, Mr. and Mrs. Williams suffered severe burns. Mr. Williams saved their year-old baby, Julia Ann, and Val Williams, two, another daughter, by throwing them from a downstairs window. The baby suffered mild first and second degree burns; Mrs. Williams suffered first and second degree burns of the back, arms, face and neck, and partial shock, and Mr. Williams had scratches and burns of the face. He was discharged form the Margaretville Hospital after first aid. Mrs. Williams and her baby are under treatment there while Val is at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jaycox, neighbors. She suffered a small burn on the right side. Two farmhands, recently arrived form New York City to help in the harvest, escaped injury by leaping naked form a second story window. Fire is believed to have originated in the dwelling where the kitchen range was located. It was in this corner on the second floor where Wanda and Sandra Slept. Mr. Jaycox was awakened at 2:50 but by the time he had reached the burning home the situation was hopeless. There are no telephones in the Carcass brook valley, the nearest being on Baxter brook. He found the building a mass of flames and a ladder, which Mr. Williams had placed up to the sleeping girls' window as a means of rescue, crumpling from the heat. As he had reached the top of the ladder Mr. Williams had been greeted by flames bursting out of the window in such intensity that he was forced back to the ground. Mrs. Williams had rushed back in to get her pocketbook when flames seared her about the face and arms. She was unable to get the purse not were any of the contents of the home saved, including clothing.
