Shared note | 6/M Hiram Lawrence Birth: __ ___ 1850 Letete, Charlotte Co., New Brunswick Marriage: 28 Apr 1873 Laura S. Holman; Eastport, Washington Co., ME Death: 10 Jun 1873 Eastport, Washington Co., ME Eastport Sentinel, Wednesday, June 11, 1873 'TERRIBLE ACCIDENT - Two men sufocated by gas- We have to record another awful accident, which occured at the Gas Works yesterday (Tuesday), by which two men, Edward and Hiram Lawrence, of this place, lost their lives and another brother narrowly escaped death. It seems that Hiram Lawrence had descended into the gasometer for the purpose of making a raft, upon which they were to make some repairs upon some of the pipes. The gas overpowered him in a very short time and he fell forward across a plank with his head and feet in the water. James Lawrence, the Agent of the Gas Company, was in the building and called for help, when Thomas Feareby went down the ladder, but being unable to bring him up come up nearly exhausted. Edward Lawrence then went down and was soon overpowered by the gas and fell into the water. James the remaining brother then put a rope around his waist, which was held by the men above, and descended the ladder but fainted before he could render assistance to his brothers, and was ranked out insensible, but recovered after Dr. Jonah arrived and applied restoratives. The bodies were recovered after considerable time had elapsed. The news of this shocking accident cast a gloom over the whole place, the brothers being respected and both married; Edward the oldest, having a family of children to mourn his untimely loss. All the assistance that could be rendered was freely given but the utmost exertion could not save their lives. The gas was shut off Sunday night and steam had been forced into the gasometer to force out the gas, but as it proved, sufficient time had not elapsed to clear the gas from the chamber.' Wednesday, June 18, 1873 'The funereal services of the late Edward and Hiram Lawrence took place on Thursday of last week at the cemetery. A large assemblage gathered to witness the sad and impressive obsequios.' __________________________________________________________________________ |
