Lightning Strikes
Phillips Home
At Washington Grove

A severe electrical storm accom-
panied by heavy rainfall struck
Washington Grove on Tuesday
night. 1t began before 6 o'clock and
continued until near 10 p. m. In
the memory of the oldest residents
it was the most violent they had
ever witnessed here. The town was
in complete darkness for some
time. Lightning struck a chimney
in the kitchen at the home of
Henry Phillips, starting a fire
which spread rapidly in the store
room over the kitchen, doing con-
siderable damage to the roof. The
Gaithersburg Washington Grove
volunteer fire company was
called and extinguished the fire
which Mr.. Phillips had partly under
control. Mrs. Phillips mother, Mrs.
Emma Johncox, who was recover
ing from an illness was carried to
neighboring home and later was
taken to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Carroll Ware for the night and
until the Phillips home dries out
she will remain there.
Some time after the fire depart
ment had returned home fire was
discovered in the basement of the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. He'll,
Just across the street from the
Phillips home. The fire department
was again called, but the fire was
extinguished before they arrived.
It is thought the fire in the Hell
home was the result of the same
bolt Of lightning that caused the
first fire; that the electric meter
was put out of commission at the
same time the Phillips home was
struck. AS all electricity was off
nothing developed until the night
crew came, repaired the damage
done, and the electric power came
on again; causing fire to start.
The fire was discovered before
much damage was done. A number
of telephones were put out of COM
mission. Both Mr.. Phillips and Mr..
He'll desire to publicly thank the
members of the fire department
and their neighbors who rendered
such valuable assistance.
