Having never heard of the tragedy prior to reading about it on Facebook, I turned to Parkesburg' resident historian Gerry Treadway. Gerry knew about the tragedy and fetched a notebook with the attached clippings from his attic.
The full headlines reads 'Seven Youngsters Die In Early Morning Blaze.'

This somber day happened way before my time. I do however remember hearing bits and pieces about it throughout my childhood. Then one day about two years ago, there was a huge article in the Daily Local News. After reading this article, I then realized that I live in the townhouses that were built to replace them ones.
i was 13 years of age when this happen. we were living at the time in the apts on 224 main street. this was a sad day. Poulson
