  • Note:
    Was lighthouse keeper of the Narrow Island lighthouse, Litt le Current, Manitoulin Island.

    Narrow Island Lighthouse Burned
    On Sunday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock the lighthouse k ept by Mr. Thomas Boyter at Narrow Island, about two mile s west of here, was burned. The fire started from the chimn ey, which was of single brick construction, and before noti ced, the sheeting of the roof was in flames. The fire soo n gained such headway that Mr. Boyter and his family had no t time to save anything upstairs except a little bedding. T hey however, got everything from the lower part of the hous e. They lost about $130 worth of clothing, furniture and be dding which was upstairs and $23 in cash, which was in a bu reau drawer. This is a heavy loss to Mr. Boyter and it leav es him without a home. He and his family are now staying wi th his sons here.
    This lighthouse was a very important one and until a new li ghthouse is built a light of some kind will need to be kep t up. The work of building a new lighthouse will likely sta rt as soon as possible.
