A sad tragedy reported in l'Est Républicain:
Quadruple Asphyxiation in Liverdun:
Mother Dead, Father and Two Children in Danger.
Liverdun, February 28 – The Aubel family, bargemen aboard boat number 32,
belonging to the Solvay company , were asphyxiated in Liverdun. As
the temperature dropped, the family had sheltered in their cramped cabin, where
they had lit a fire of coal. This morning at 8:00 a.m., they were found
asphyxiated. Mrs. Aubel, née Elisabeth Dorléans, 26 years old, died alongside
her husband, aged 35. He is seriously ill, as are their children, Françoise, 8,
and Emile, 5. Dr. Aubry, from Frouard, pronounced the woman dead and had the
three other victims transported to the hospital in Nancy by the city's fire
department.
Solvay 32 was involved in the strikes of 1936. Here she is fourth from the right at Conflans:
