     James Granger was born on 1 June 1825 at Norfolk, England.² He was baptized on 25 June 1826 at Shelfanger, Norfolk, England, (All Saints.)² He married Hannah (Mary Ann) in 1844 at Brooklyn, Kings County, NY. James Granger died on 4 February 1850 at Brooklyn, NY. He was buried on 10 March 1852 in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.³

     He was killed at the Hague Street explosion at the location of A. B. Taylor, Esq., a well known printing press manufacturer in Hague Street, and ST. JOHN, BURR & Co., hat body manufacturers. On site were employed about 130 men and boys. Over 50 of them lost their lives when the boiler in the building exploded, shattering windows for many blocks nearby, and causing the building to collapse. Accounts of the explosion vary, but in summary the accident occurred at half past 7, A.M., by the bursting of a boiler of two hundred horse power, in the Printing Press and Machine shop of MR. A. V. TAYLOR, No. 3, Hague Street, within a door or two of Pearl Street. As soon as the explosion took place, the whole building, which was five stories high, was actually lifted from its foundation to a height of six feet; and when it reached that elevation, it tumbled down, crushing amid the ruins a great many people. The exact number we have not yet been able to ascertain. So great was the force of the explosion that fragments of the building were scattered in every direction. Windows in the neighborhood were broken, and a large portion of the front wall of the building was thrown with tremendous force into the houses opposite. Various opinions are afloat in regard to the cause of the explosion, but the most generally received opinion is, that the boiler was imperfect. The proprietors state that it was a new boiler, and that the exceedingly cold frost during the night froze several water lines and caused it to explode when it was fired up this morning. As nearly as can be ascertained, there were a hundred or more persons at the time of the catastrophe scattered through the machine-shop and pattern factory, as well as a bindery, in which a great many men and girls were usually employed.
