Original Toronto Star caption: Where 6 burned to death: Charred debris is all that remains of a frame house where six people; including three children; died yesterday about 25 miles north of Stratford. Investigators said the only door from the house probably was blocked by a blazing space heater that may have started the fire. It was discovered by Robert Strachan; former landlord of one victim; David Braby; 32.
