Fire in Bayville
New Jersey Courier 11 Jul 1913
At Bayville on Monday, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ad Allgor, a pot of boiling ham on a gasoline stove resulted seriously to Mrs. Allgor, her little grandchild, and the house itself. The gasoline stove sat on top of the kitchen range, and the pot of ham boiled over, making a splutter and a blaze. Mrs. Allgor grabbed a piece of carpet to smother the blaze, and her son tried to help her. In the excitement the gasoline stove was knocked on the floot. The carpet which was being used to smother the flames got on fire, and was thrown out the kitchen door, where it fell on the little child of Harry Allgor of Double Trouble, which was visiting its grandparents, and burned it badly.
The child was brought up to Dr. Brouwer to have its wounds dressed. It was burned on the head, shoulders, hands and legs. Mrs. Allgor, Sr. was also badly burned about the head and hands, and the boy had his hands and arms burned. The kitchen and the adjoining room were pretty well gutted.
