Hi: Go here: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=QBJtjoHflPwC In the box called Date which is beside the size box, type in 1939. Click Go. Find the August papers, you may also need the July ones considering the death date was Aug 1. >From The Ottawa Citizen, Aug 2, 1939, page 4: ROSS – At a local hospital on Tuesday, August 1, 1939, Charles Ross, beloved husband of Ada Oakman, in his 60th year. Funeral from the parlors of AE Veitch & Son, Parkdale Ave at Gladstone on Friday, Aug 4. Time later. Interment Pinecrest cemetery. Also check the Aug 3rd newspaper as there may be more info in that obit as I assume they would have put another one in on that day as they said that they would announce the time. These newspapers are NOT name-searchable as they seem to only have OCR'd the headlines, not the entire pages. The papers of that time don't seem to have been too long so you can enlarge each page using the + sign above each one, and read the articles to see if there is a story on the fire. If the fire occurred in late July, read those, too. Also, in future, you can email the Ottawa Public Library reference section and they will look for obits, one or two at a time, if you have the death or burial date for them to search by.
