History
100 Years Ago in Suffield
|
Selected from the pages of the Windsor Locks Journal and lightly annotated by Wendy Taylor of Kent Memorial Library. September 2
Pupils have been enrolled for the coming school year at the Suffield School up to its full capacity. Both dormitories are full, and also the chapel which will be turned into dormitories for the coming year. Lawrence Chamberlain of Kent avenue was seriously burned about the legs and body… at the gasoline filling station in Kent avenue, when he was standing near the gasoline tank of an automobile that was being filled from the pump and the tank overflowed, and some of the gasoline spattered onto his clothing. A few minutes later he lighted a cigarette and threw the match where the gasoline had flowed over the ground.
