LANDMARK At FLORENCE

One OF the landmarks OF Florence
was destroyed Monday Afternoon about
o'clock. when the old Jesse Frazer
was burned to the ground.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The house was unoccupiei and has
been for some time. Those who first
saw the blaze state that IL came
from the roof. 1t was necessary to
guard tie burning embers for several
hours on account of tie high wind.
The heavy logs co itinued to smoln-
der until today. The property is
owned by Louis Cormerlo and it Is
understood that the loss is covered
by insurance.
Senator McCandless states that the
house was built in the early sixties
and 1t is estimated to be at least
structed by Uncle Jesse Frazer short
ly after his arrival in this section Of
the Arkansas valley and without n
doubt was the oldest house in this
vicinity.
