Large Part of Furnishings.

Fire early yesterday afternoon con-
sumed the home OF Mrs. Lyman Simp-
son. who lived on Benton avenue in
Winslow. and despite the gallant Of
forts of the firemen and the neighbor.
Il great deal of the household goods
were lost The fire was discovered
by a passerby who noticed smoke
emerging from the upper windows and
when an investigation was made ihT
fire had secured a good headway and
was beyond the efforts of the men.
IN alarm was sent in and the mem
bers of the Winslow company AMI
many from the Hollingsworth & Whit
ney mill responded. All directed their
efforts toward the saving OF the furni-
ture and many valuable pieces Were
rescued. There are no hydrants in
that vicinity and the fire had to be
eft to burn itself out. The firemen
protected the barn. which escaped al
though it was within Is feet of the
house
The fire burned for over an hour an'.
about o'clock was all out. The house
was one and ore-half story and had
recently been repaired. 1t is thought
that the fire originated from an over
heated chimney but had so good a
headway when discovered that the real
cause is not known. The home was
valued at about $500. with little in
surance The enstimated loss of the
furniture is not known.
The Winslow fire department was
again called out last evening for 4

always lived and where they both died a few years later. Their only son, Ed. ward ], Hine. married Sarah K. Senior who with her daughter now occupies the house, E. J. Hine died in 1895.
 Mrs Hines father, John Senior, came from England when he was nine teen and was seven weeks on the wat CT, Although the old Senior place was where the Murphy's live near Jay Aettleton's. the family of John Sen. for lived for time at the Tyler place and 1t was from there that Mrs Hine came to school in East street, her first school days. The house up towards Plum Hill from the Hine house is now rented but known as the Tyler place was owned by Benjamin Hine. His sor, John succeeded him and his daugh. ter, Esther (prOnOunCed E-sther) mar ried Captain William Hurlburt and they built the small house further up the hill Mrs Betsy Clark Hurlburt was the second wife). Justis Parker lived in this house after the Hines went away and MT Tyler married his daugh- ter. Across the road was shop where nails were made by hand and down the hill was another shop where hats were made. It was in this old shop that an old Indian who tramped around the country liked to stay. His popular name was Sam Ingen. He made bas- kets and exchanged them for provisions. He was very eccentric as might be ex- pected. When one woman gave him some pork he said "Ihis ain't none of the fattest." At one place he went into the hatchway and stood looking at the corner of the wall to shave himself as if there was mirror there. He made the old hat shop one of his stop- ping places.
 Mrs James Bunnell gives me the fol- lowing about the old Armstrong and Bunnel house where she spent most of her married life. Of course there is nothing about the house to interest the public in general only that it was the home of a soldier in the Revolutionary war It was built by him. James Armstrong and Mir Bunnell, my hus- band, were named for him. The car penter's name was Fox and that is all l know about him. James Armstrong lived there and died there. His wife was Miriam Mallory, the only survivor of that awful murder that was con- mitted near the John Gum place many years ago, of which most of you have heard Miriam, the oldest daughter, was away from home at that time of her life and was spared. She lived and dled in the old house at the age of one hundred years. There were seven chil- dren, Sally, Betsey. Polly, Orrin, Noble, William and James. -Four gene rations of Armstrongs have in success sion lived in the old place and no one else. The house is one hundred and fifty years old. It is said of Miriam that she wasvery fond of horses and rode around horseback until she was very old and managed the horses well although as she said "The pesky boys had been witching with them" ..a.
