The Christmas Fire

On December 27, 1843, two days after the bodies of Captain George Houseman's wife and daughter were discovered, the Herald's headline read, Destructive Conflagration at Port Richmond, Two Lives Lost. A rival paper's headline read, Horrible Affair, Mysterious Murder and Arson at Staten Island. The police had barely started their investigation and hadn't made any announcements.
