William married first, a woman at Hunts, who did not live very long. There was no family. In 1860, he married Sarah Timberley, who is still living with her daughter, Mrs. [George] Sutton. They had quite a family. Edward died a young man. James married a daughter of John Crant. Both are still living. John married Sarah Kinslow of Red Island. Both of them are also still living. Joseph never married; he was killed in the country by an avalanche of snow fifteen years ago."" This is the only indication we have of this tragedy, that apparently took place in around 1910.

The Champlain society, Toronto, 438p, page 325. +Evening Telegram Jan 28, 1895. +The accident occurred during mine operations high in the Lewis Hills at Bluff Head Brook. The story was told first by JP Howley in his memoirs of field work on the west coast, and also by ED Haliburton in his history of mining on the western part of the Island, published in 1919. Haliburton tells of a Mr. Holden, who traveled from St. Johns in 1894 to set up an operation to mine chromite in the Lewis Hills. ""The mine was nearly up to the top of the mountain, which formed one side of the gulch terminating at the bottom in Bluff Head Cove. The huts where the men lived were built on a sort of terrace about half-way up this mountain and to get to the mine they had to traverse a path that curved around and upward"". On 23 January 1895, four miners left to clear this path. This group included Mr Holdens brother Thomas, Patric Byrne, Laughlin, and McKinnon. They were shoveling the path when apparently they triggered an avalanche that swept down the slope carrying all four with it. Howley states all four were killed, but Haliburton suggests that one, further from the centre of the avalanche, was swept down two or three hundred feet, but survived. The site of the mine is still visible, in one of the large bowl shaped cirques that form the edge of the Lewis Hills. Such areas are very vulnerable to avalanche, and although no mining takes place in this area now, this tragedy serves as an illustration of the dangers of such areas to the current day snow-mobiler or back-country skier. Howley writes as follows: +""The mine is situated at the head of a deep ravine through which Bluff Head Brook meanders. The ravine forms a perfect amphitheatre and it is at the extreme bend at its head that the ore occurs, just inside the boundary line behind Capt. Clearys and Jones lots.

His father (John Davis), grandfather (Thomas Davis), uncle (Tom Davis), great-uncle (Solomon Morgan) and Andrew Reeves decided to climb up Andrews Hill one fine afternoon in March. Andrews Hill is about 6 kilomtres east of Cartwright. Leaving Goose Cove, to reach the top of the hill they had to climb up a steep gulch, with a bank of overhanging snow. John Davis was suffering from a nose bleed and was lagging behind the other four, and saw the overhang give way, avalanching down the slope and burying his four companions. He rushed to the scene and was able to extract his father by digging with his snowshoe. Frank Davis recounted ""Grandfather said he felt as if he had been runned in lead"". The two then quickly returned to the community to get shovels and help, but when the other three were dug out, they were all dead. One had had his back broken over a birch tree, and it is likely the other two were asphyxiated. The slope on which the three men died was since been known as ""Murdering Corner"" or Murdering Gulch"". Goose Cove lies 10 kilometres east of the village of Cartwright.

William married first, a woman at Hunts, who did not live very long. There was no family. In 1860, he married Sarah Timberley, who is still living with her daughter, Mrs. [George] Sutton. They had quite a family. Edward died a young man. James married a daughter of John Crant. Both are still living. John married Sarah Kinslow of Red Island. Both of them are also still living. Joseph never married; he was killed in the country by an avalanche of snow fifteen years ago."" This is the only indication we have of this tragedy, that apparently took place in around 1910.

Howley: Selected Years, edited by Kirwin WJ, Story GM and O?Flaherty PA. The Champlain society, Toronto, 438p, page 325. -Evening Telegram Jan 28, 1895. -The accident occurred during mine operations high in the Lewis Hills at Bluff Head Brook. The story was told first by JP Howley in his memoirs of field work on the west coast, and also by ED Haliburton in his history of mining on the western part of the Island, published in 1919. Haliburton tells of a Mr. Holden, who traveled from St. Johns in 1894 to set up an operation to mine chromite in the Lewis Hills. ""The mine was nearly up to the top of the mountain, which formed one side of the gulch terminating at the bottom in Bluff Head Cove. The huts where the men lived were built on a sort of terrace about half-way up this mountain and to get to the mine they had to traverse a path that curved around and upward"". On 23 January 1895, four miners left to clear this path. This group included Mr Holdens brother Thomas, Patric Byrne, Laughlin, and McKinnon. They were shoveling the path when apparently they triggered an avalanche that swept down the slope carrying all four with it. Howley states all four were killed, but Haliburton suggests that one, further from the centre of the avalanche, was swept down two or three hundred feet, but survived. The site of the mine is still visible, in one of the large bowl shaped cirques that form the edge of the Lewis Hills. Such areas are very vulnerable to avalanche, and although no mining takes place in this area now, this tragedy serves as an illustration of the dangers of such areas to the current day snow-mobiler or back-country skier. Howley writes as follows: -""The mine is situated at the head of a deep ravine through which Bluff Head Brook meanders. The ravine forms a perfect amphitheatre and it is at the extreme bend at its head that the ore occurs, just inside the boundary line behind Capt. Clearys and Jones lots.

His father (John Davis), grandfather (Thomas Davis), uncle (Tom Davis), great-uncle (Solomon Morgan) and Andrew Reeves decided to climb up Andrews Hill one fine afternoon in March. Andrews Hill is about 6 kilomtres east of Cartwright. Leaving Goose Cove, to reach the top of the hill they had to climb up a steep gulch, with a bank of overhanging snow. John Davis was suffering from a nose bleed and was lagging behind the other four, and saw the overhang give way, avalanching down the slope and burying his four companions. He rushed to the scene and was able to extract his father by digging with his snowshoe. Frank Davis recounted ""Grandfather said he felt as if he had been runned in lead"". The two then quickly returned to the community to get shovels and help, but when the other three were dug out, they were all dead. One had had his back broken over a birch tree, and it is likely the other two were asphyxiated. The slope on which the three men died was since been known as ""Murdering Corner"" or Murdering Gulch"". Goose Cove lies 10 kilometres east of the village of Cartwright. It is not clear if the men lived in Goose Cove or were returning from a walk in that area. - From the Hudsons Bay Company Cartwright Post Journal: Thursday, 16 March 1893: ""Solomon Morgan and Thomas Davis, son of Thomas Davis, was killed by a snow avalanche at Andrews Hill on Sunday evening past. - Thus there is some uncertainty as to whether Andrew Reeves did in fact die in the avalanche as he is not mentioned in this contemporary account.",Unknown,[],"{'temp_present': None, 'temp_max': None, 'temp_min': None, 'temp_trend': '', 'wind_speed': '', 'wind_dir': '', 'sky': '', 'precip': ''}",,"{'hs': None, 'hn24': None, 'hst': None, 'hst_reset': ''}",,"[{'title': 'Murdering Corner, near Cartwright, 1893', 'source': 'NFLD Geological Survey', 'url': '/public/legacy_doc/34b07213-e748-4561-9d78-4bd056dd71ee/cartwright_1893.html'}]" -484,172dcea1-d920-47ab-87b9-e4a197e6a1a7,1891-01-20,Irelands Bight,"Irelands Eye, Hare Bay","[586300.0, 56887.0]",UTM 21 NAD83,,NL,,2.0,3,,Inside Building,"[{'observation_date': '1891-01-20', 'size': 'Unknown', 'type': '', 'trigger': 'U', 'aspect': '', 'elevation': None, 'slab_width': None, 'slab_thickness': None}]","{'temp_present': None, 'temp_max': None, 'temp_min': None, 'temp_trend': '', 'wind_speed': '', 'wind_dir': '', 'sky': '', 'precip': ''}",,"{'hs': None, 'hn24': None, 'hst': None, 'hst_reset': ''}",,"[{'title': 'Irelands Bight, Northern Peninsula, Jan 20, 1891', 'source': 'NFLD Geological Survey', 'url': '/public/legacy_doc/0040bb73-84cc-4fdc-a676-059fc5280a9c/jan20_1891.html'}]" -485,8f9a7e1f-1cf1-41c4-a7c5-d726974db1ec,1891-01-20,Unknown Location,,"[None, None]",,,,,,3,"Confirmation of a report wed had from oral records for a few years. -Royal Gazette, March 31 1891.

The adults were killed but the baby boy survived sheltered in his mothers arms. The house stood at the base of the Lookout Hills near what is known as Charlie Fons Brook about halfway between Mudges Point and the last house now in Curzon Village. The date is probably fairly accurate as the baby returned for a brief visit as an old man and met the father of Herb Taylor (my informant) a year or so before he died in his 90s."" - The site seems prone to avalanches, at the base of a steep cliff. This was confirmed when a moderate sized avalanche was observed by a resident in the winter of 2000-2001. This avalanche was located above the current buildings in Curzon Village, swept down-slope breaking off trees but stopped well short of structures. - Further archival research indicated the date was in fact 1876. The Newfoundlander reported: - ""Information has lately reached us of a very melancholy and fatal accident which took place here on the 25th February last at Bonne Bay. There was a very heavy gale of wind with snow and the latter accumulated in great quantity on a high hill behind the house of a man named Charles Fawn. After some time the snow came down like an avalanche against the house, completely breaking it up, when Fawn, his wife and youngest child were killed and buried in the snow.

By 1894 only two Churchills are recorded, Richard and Edward, and in 1898 George Dennis and Richard Churchill are listed. It is possible that the man killed was Joseph Churchill.
