AND. HEDSTROM'S
HOME BURNS

On Tuesday night the residence of
Andrew Hedstrom, located on Maple
Hill near the saw mill, burned.
At midnight> Mrs. Hedstrom was
awakened by the smell Of smoke and
called Mr.. Hedstrom who soon dis
covered that the house was on fire.
They took the children over to the
office at the mill and Mr.. Hedstrom
and son Lawrence tried to extin-
guish the flames. They put The fire
out down stairs, but when thew
opened the skylight to try to put
it out above the flames shot up so
hard that their efforts were futile.
When they saw that they couldn't
save the house they tried to save the
furniture. They got the sewing ma
chine, piano and a few chairs out
but by that time the fire had gained
such headway that they could do nc
more. Lawrence was in the kit t:her
when the roof caved in and narrowly
escaped being injured and perhaps
killed.
Besides losing furniture, clothing
and bedding, several hundred dollars
worth of provisions that they hat?
stored in the basement were DESTROY
ed. They saved the storehouse by
throwing snow on it. The therm.:me
ter registered 35 degrees below 7erc
and the wind was blowing abou. SO
miles an hour.
Lawrence Hedstrom froze one OF
his cars while carrying provisions
from the storehouse which thev
moved to safety in case that struc
ture should burn.
Mn Hedstrom operates saw mill
where his residence was burned. The
fire did not spread to the mill and
the family is temporarily housed
there. Their large home near the
church about mile or more away is
rented out which prevented then,
from going there.
