Fire, originating, it is thought, when Dennie Geyer upset a lantern, caused the death of Geyer and his three motherless children, Charles, aged 12, Elmer, aged 10 and Brady, aged 8, at their home in the Silvers House, two doors north of Liberty Street in Central Avenue, at 1:30 0'clock this morning.
Geyer was 35 years old and was employed as a laborer in the Chambersburg Engineering Co. machine shop. His wife died some weeks ago and since then he had been unsuccessfully advertising for a housekeeper. Last night he placed an ad in the Public Opinion for a wife.... They used a lantern for lighting and heating and it is thought that Geyer stumbling around overturned the lantern and set fire to the upstairs.
