| 1937-09-13≥ | By 13 September 1937 (the issue date), the paper reported: "Fire, which was discovered shortly afternoon on Sunday, completely destroyed the C.N.R. station and freight shed at Casselman". A passer-by noticed smoke issuing from the freight shed, "which had been closed since Saturday", and raised the alarm by sounding the church bell; the volunteer brigade prevented the flames from spreading. The same item reports the station destroyed; filed separately on Casselman Depot. | Ottawa Citizen 1937-09-13(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) |
