JONES Canadian Press Staff Writer WILLIAMSBURG, Ont. (CP)--A raging fire that swiftly levelled a two-storey frame home here early today took the lives of a mother and two of her four children shortly after the father left to do the farm chores. Dead are Mrs. Weldon Beck- stead, about 47; her daughter, Donna, 12, and son, John, 8. Two other daughters escaped were burned as they fled and were taken to hospital in Winchester, Ont., 10 miles north of this village about 35 miles south of Ottawa. Constable H. Myers of the nearby Morrisburg provincial police de- tachment said he believes the fire started from a kitchen stove. FATHER COLLAPSES The father also was taken to hospital suffering from shock. He had risen early, lit the stove and gone out to farm buildings nearby to care for the livestock. He re- burns and 17-year-old Betty's back was burned. The doctor said their condition is sausfactory. A neighbor, Dave Shaw, said he looked out his window and saw flames coming from the Beckstead house at 6:15 a. m. Volunteers and fire departments from nearby Chesterville, Morris« burg and Iroquois in this St. Law. rence river area were called to fight the blaze. But Chesterville fire chief Wallace Guay said the house was an inferno by the time he and a crew of seven men with a pumper arrived about 7 o'clock, NO WATER SYSTEM He said the pumper could not be used because the 300-population village has no water system, only wells, A bucket brigade was formed to keep the fire from spreading to nearby buildings. Harold Algar, one of the first Williamsburg residents on the scene, said the two surviving girls apparently forced open a door om turned to find his house in flames. He 'was restrained from entering the blazing home and then col- lapsed fom shock. .
