Schedule #111, 2 Uplees House, Faversham without: Charles Bodeker, head, married, 36, storekeeper cotton powder works, a worker, born at Faversham; Sarah, wife, married, 36, born at Faversham; Eva, daughter, 8, born at Faversham; Alfred, son, 7 born at Faversham. [S132] Newspaper, Various, (Various), Leeds Mercury - Thursday 14 February 1878, p. 3, 14 Feb 1878. EXPLOSION AT A DETONATOR FACTORY - About three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon an explosion occurred at the detonator factory of the Cotton Powder Company at Oare, near Faversham, by which two persons, a man named Baines, about 30 years of age, and a boy of 15, named Bodiker, were seriously injured. The building in shich the accident happened is quite independent of the cotton powder works, and is situate at a distance of a quarter of a mile from them. This building is what is called the press-house, in which the process of filling the shells with fulminate of mercury is carried on, and in this only the two injured persons were engaged. They were in the act of filling when the explosion occurred, but from what cause it arose is not known, as the pressing machine remains intact. The finished work had been only recently cleared out, and the quantity of fulminate of mercury that exploded was less than a pound. The man's hand is seriously hurt, also one of his feet and one leg. The boy likewise sustained injury to one of his hands, which, it is feared, will have to be amputated. He was also injured at the back of the head by splinters. Medical aid was immediately sent for, and Mr. Powell of Faversham, was speedily in attendance. He administered the necessary treatment, and the sufferers were then removed to the hospital at the Faversham Union Workhouse.
