— A Southwick Time Machine Oddity   On July 13, 1821, a fire of unknown origin broke out at a powder works in Southwick, Massachusetts. Inside the sifting mill was 21-year-old Julius Lee, the only person in the building at the time. Julius Lee was born in Southwick in 1800. He was the son of Campbell Lee, who owned the powder works with Messrs. Booth & Co. of Westfield and Colonel Enos Foote of Southwick. The sifting mill exploded first. Within seconds, the pounding mill, located about ten rods away, also exploded. The blast was reportedly heard and felt 10 to 12 miles away. Although severely injured, Julius did not die immediately. He survived for about an hour, but his injuries were so extensive that no account of the accident could be obtained from him. When his body was examined, some of his bones were found to be broken. He was blackened by the smoke of the powder but was otherwise not greatly disfigured or bruised. Julius Lee was buried in Southwick Cemetery....
