about two miles from town on the
north side, was burned to the ground
Easter Sunday morning. The fire
was discovered by Mr.. Warner on
the roof near a chimney. The Car

the fire was burning too much to be
extinguished by chemicals and there
was no means of obtaining water
The fire burned slow enough for all
of the contents of the house to be
carried out. Even some of the win
dow frames were removed. Mr.. War
ner and his family have moved in
with his mother, who lives on an
farm until a new house
can be built.
