Farm At

Disastrous Fire Destroys House

Paul Binlxley Farm Saturday
Afternoon.

Paul BnkIey Farm Saturday
Afternoon.
The Binkley farm at Cearfoss was
completely destroyed early Saturday
afternoon in a raging fire that lasted
an hour. The property was owned
by the Misses Elizabeth and Emma
Strong of Hagerstown, but has been
occupied and farmed by Mr.. and Mrs
Paul Binkley and children for the
past "a years.
What caused the fire, which start
ed in the woodpile at the back Of
the l0-room farm house, is a mystery
to the family. The fire quickly spread
from the Woodpile to the Woodshed
and then to the almost adjoining
wash house The main house was
soon in a blaze, also and the fire
swept ON to the barn, by way of
the big trees in front of the house,
which were also demolished From
the top of the trees the wind blew
the fire to the hay stack in the barn

he said he did too, but he knew
there wasn't any bonfire, for the
kids were washing the car, and |
knew that none of the stoves were
on. We walked around the house
and saw the Woodpile in flames. We
all started fighting the fire, while
one of the boys jumped into the
car and went to the neighbors to
call the fire department
I'm hardly any time at ALL" Mrs.
Binkley continued, "the yard was
full of people helping to get things
out of the house before it caught
fire. The boys went upstairs to get
the clothes, but they only got their
own and now our daughter doesn't
have any clothes to wear except her
brothers overalls and shirts. l had
so much on my mind that | forgot
about my silVerware and dishes until
it was too late, and they were
destroyed, along with all my canned
food and ten cured hams. By the
time the house has been destroyed
the rain began and damaged all the
furniture and clothes that we had
been able to salvage"
Some farm machinery was saved,
but lot of it was ruined. In fact,
we don't really known just what
has been saved, or the cost of the
damage done"
The Maugansville Fire Company
and the First Hose Fire Company of
Hagerstown turned out to fight the
fire, but with the intense heat and
the dry weather they were terribly
hampered in their vain, but gallant
efforts to save the property"
The family has been divided be-
tween relatives, and will remain so
until some kind of a home can be
found Mr.. and Mrs. Binkley have
five children at home and a son in
the Armed Forces, stationed in
Tokyo.
