| ton, the. result of damp hay being
put into the barn. At 1890 the barn
on the G. Gracia farm near the cor
ners was burned to the ground with
its contents. Mrs. Gracia was able TO
get out the three horses that were
in the barn but could not save the dog
which was tied to wagon, the 9th
er contents being destroyed. Mr., Ora
ella carried very small insurance.
This was particularly hard case, as
Mr.. Gracia has beer burned out three
times since living on this farm, and
had only recently built this new barn
and had not got his house erected. The
family had been living in part of the
corn barn which had been fitted up
for the present.
The other barn was located on the
G. B. Edwards farm in East Roxbury..
which is better known as the Leroy
Eastman place. This fire occurred at
$3.50 in the afternoon and the entire
contents were destroyed, but no live.
