STORY LODGE NEAR BEVERLY
DESTROYED BY FIRE

"Story LODGE the home of Mrs.
Madeline Rinehart Story at Round
Bottom, near Beverly, one of the
historical old homesteads of that
locality, was destroyed by fire early
last Thursday morning. Only part
of the furnishings, including val
liable antiques were saved.
Mrs. Story discovered the blaze
shortly after arising. She aroused
members Of the household and all
had time to get out Of the house.
Firemen from Beverly were sum-
but could do but little, because no
water was available. The only
source of water was under the floor
of the house and the flames had
made such inroads that the firemen
were unable to connect with it. 1t
is believed that the fire started
from an explosion Of an oil stove
used in a brooder that was in the
wing of the rear end of the house,
which at one time was used as a
carriage house.
The Story families had occupied
the house for 100 years. 1t was a
large two-story nine room residence,
of frame construction. The loss,
partly covered by insurance, is about
$1,000. Household goods valued
at $4,000 were carried out into the
yard. The house would have been
100 years old next year. Another
land mark in the same neighbor-
hood, the Devol residence, which
was filled with antiques, was de-
stroyed by fire g. few weeks ago.
