Article genealogybank.com  "It is said that in the small town of Bristol, Rhode Island, for several years before the war a young man named Cole was in the habit of throwing every silver dollar that came into his possession into a cistern at the side of his house. After coin get scarce and at a high premium he took the silver out and found that he had accumulated over $5,000 which he was able to sell at a a large premium. We would not recommend that others do likewise, for a cistern is not the safest place for making deposits; but we would recommend that a good savings bank - or dollar bank for instance - be substituted."

1926 - FIREWORKS BLAST KILLS FOUR IN R. I.   SCORE OF OTHER HURT AT BRISTOL PLANT; 4 BUILDINGS WRECKED. OWNER, HIS WIFE, SON AND SON-IN-LAW DEATH VICTIMS -- BODIES BADLY MANGLED -- HOUSES NEARBY DAMAGED -- WINDOWS SHATTERED IN DISTANT PARTS OF TOWN -- CAUSE OF EXPLOSION MAY NEVER BE LEARNED. Bristol, R. I., Aug. 9 -- (AP) -- Four persons were killed and a score injured today by an explosion whch destroyed the plant of the Bristol Fireworks Company, wrecked three other buildings, damaged nearby houses, and shattered windows in distant parts of the town. The four victims were: GUISEPPE GIORGIO, owner of the plant. his wife. their son JAMES GIORGIO. their son in law LUIGI TAMBURO. The three were at work and MRS. GIORGIO had just gone to the plant to bring them their dinners when the explosion occurred. Her decapitated body was found in a potato patch 20 yards distant. GIORGIO was blown through the roof of the flimsy one-story wooden shack that housed the plant. His body and that of TAMBURO, both mangled almost beyond recognition, were taken from the ruins. JAMES GIORGIO, the only one of the four alive when rescuers arrived, was removed o the Rhode Island Hospital, where he died an hour and a half later without being able to tell the cause of the explosion. The fireworks shack was blown to atoms and the fragments scattered in all directions for several hundred yards. Two dwelling houses which stood within ten yards of the shack were demolished as was an adjoining carriage shed. The injured were residents of nearby houses. Police reported they had found only seven persons that required medical attention, and that their injuries were not serious. MRS. MANUEL PACHEO, who lived in one of the houses wrecked by the explosion, received a severe cut on the shoulder. The other dwelling was occupied by S. S. Stanzione but none of the family was at home. The blast shook the whole town and shattered windows in buildings more than a mile distant. Authorities tonight had been unable to determine the cause of the blast and expressed doubt that it would ever be discovered, although a coroner's inquest will be conducted.
