The names Benny & Henry Fults are showing up in my research of my mom's family (Gunderson) in that area. I have articles from the Fr Frances Times and Rainy Lake Herald with these names. I believe the article is dated 1978 (a 40 yr rememberance) of the 1938 Thanksgiving Day fire (Dance, ON), here's the articles & photos webpages:

I also have a hard copy of the newspaper article from 1938 and a hard copy of the 1988 article (a 50 yr rememberance). I will share if this is anything of interest to anyone. My mom & her family survived the fire. My Aunt Arlene who was 5 at the time is alive & well.

17 died, one of which was Benny Fults, and they were buried in Emo, Ft Frances & Burriss. Doesn't say who was burried where.



Other family names in the articles:
Gunderson, Dardis, LaBelle, Seris, Fyle, LeBrun,
Featherstone, Williams, Hamilton, Croome

Hope this was of some help.
