Burned
Lies in Critical Condition
Little Hope Of Recovery
Carleton Sentinal Aug 8 1913

Sarah Millmore, about 20 years of age, was terribly burned about the body and limbs Wednesday evening.
It is not known just how the accident occured, but when discovered her clothing was all aflame.
Her sister, Miss Minnie Millmore, who was in an adjoining room rushed out when she heard the cries and seeing the predicament of her sister tried to tear the remaining portions of her clothing away and was herself severely burned about the hands.
Dr. Rankin was summoned and did all he could to alleviate the terrible suffering of the girl, whose limbs were charred almost to the bone.
She is in a precarious condition and slight hopes are held out for her recovery.

The matches of the Carleton Co. Rifle Association, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday last were better attended than they have been for a number of years, there being thirty two competitors, including quite a large proportion of young shots.

Carleton County Millionaire
The Press Newspaper February 18, 1907

On the 9th inst., the press received the following despatch from Lynn, Mass:
"Woodstock woman is Heir to Millions.
Father disappeared years ago.
Just heard from in Oregon, is Millionaire."

The following slightly overdrawn account, from the Boston Journal, throws some more light on the case:-

After struggling for years to earn her own living, Miss Anna Kinney of Melrose received word yesterday that her father, Lorenzo Kinny, who had disappeared over twenty years ago, was a millionaire land owner in Marshfield, Ore., and wanted his family to share his wealth with him.
Dazed by the good news, Miss Kinney is eagerly awaiting a reply to a letter she forwarded yesterday, and her eagerness is shared by her mother and sister, who are living at present at Jacksonville, N.B.
Lorenzo Kinney disappeared over twenty years ago from his home in Woodstock, N.B. previously saying that he was going West in search of a fortune. Through the long years that followed the Kinney family, consisting of a wife, two daughters and a son, struggled bravely to get along, the girls working and earning their own living until about three years ago the son died and the youngest daughter was married, leaving Anna and her mother to fight the battle alone.
Coming to Melrose she obtained work as clerk in the bakery of her cousin, W J Mitchell, on Highland avenue, Melrose Highlands, and for the past three years has worked at that place.
In an interview with Miss Kinney at her home 108 Highland avenue, Melrose Highlands, she said :
" I can hardly credit the good news and yet I have always hoped and at times believed that a horoscope I had casted two years ago, which prophesied all these things would come true."

Dearest father thou has left us;
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But tis God 'hat hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heel.
One month has gone but still we miss Thee:
Never shall your memory fade;
Loving thoughts shall always linger
Round the spot where papa lays.
