The one little girl was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Riley LEWIS, and the other a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert MEADE. The families are neighbors and the little girls were playmates. At the time the explosion occurred that wrecked the LEWIS home it was thought the children were at the rear of the premises playing in some sand piled there, and it was not known until too late that they were in the cellar of the home. They were evidently rendered unconscious by the explosion, as they made no outcry. As soon as possible after it was learned the children were in the cellar, their blackened bodies were rescued from the cellar, which was a mass of flames. It was thought the children were playing with matches in the cellar, and flames communicated with a gas leak. The LEWIS home was damaged to the extent of about $1,000. Friday afternoon the remains of the MEADE child were interred in the cemetery at Venice, and the LEWIS child in the Robinson Run cemetery.
