FIRE DESTROYS
The Fisher Brothers Home in the
Town of Kendall.

The Fisher brothers home was totally
destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from a defective chimney. Very little
of the furniture was saved, as their
aged mother was confined to her bed by
illness and their first care was for her.
She was taken to Ed. Marr's house, not
far away.
The property loss was partially COW
cred by insurance.

to a temporary restoration Of those
faculties which guide the morals. She

She was calm and penitent. Mrs. Bar
