Byron Hathorn's house was destroyed |
by fire on the night of July 18th, about u /
o'clock. Twice on the previous afternoon |
the roof ignited around the chimney and /
the fire was extinguished by neighbors. |
When the family retired that night there |
were no signs of the smoulderng flames |
and the danger was thought to be past. 1t /
was about II 80 that Mr.. Hathorn was
awakened by noise like the falling of |
a timber. He rushed to the stairway and /
found the roof and chambers all ON fire. /
Fortunately, the children were sleeping
down stairs and as soon as they were safe
liz cared for Mr.. and Mrs. Hathorn began
removing what furniture and clothing
were on the first floor and, with the aid Of
few neighbors who reached them in sea-
son to do some good, they succeeded in
saving nearly everything from the first
floor. A vest, however, containing some
$3.50 in money was left hanging blythe bed,
close beside another which Mr., Hathorn
took down and put on. The building is
said to have been well insured.
The electrical storm which passed over
this locality last week Wednesday morn
ing about O'Clock did a great deal OF

Stone, l.. A. Richmond, Stephen Hoar and
Mrs. Emma Cobb Their corn crops are

were broken in G. II. stones house, also
at Albert Winslows. A chimney was
blown from l.. A. Richmond's, fences
were swept away, large maple trees broken
over, shingles torn from roofs OF buildings ,
and considerable poultry lost. Probably /,
more damage was done on Stephen Hoar's
farm than any other mentioned. The roof
was torn from off his shed, three of the
old naples which have stood for years
were blown down, large number of fruit
trees torn up by the roots and most OF his
crops destroyed. They thought for time
all the buildings would be blown away. 1t
was the most severe storm known in this
section OF the country for years.
This community was shocked and sad
dened last Friday morning by the receipt
OF telegram bearing the news of the

early life was spent in the place Of his
birth. Elmira, n. ", the family moving
here when he was IL years OF age From
his quiet, gentle, manly manner and pleas
ant disposition he at once won his wav

He viii be especially missed in the home
which was so dear to him. by the father, {
