IN MEMORY

In loving memory of Eliza
beth Lahue who passed away
Jan Is, 1854.
From our happy home and
circle,
God has taken one we loved,
They say time heals all
broken hearts,
But oh that seems untrue.
For this year has passed so
slowly,
And our hearts still ache for
you.
And everywhere within our
home,
We see a vacant chair.
Her charming ways and smil-
ing face,
Are pleasant to recall.
She had a kindly word for
each,
And died beloved by all.
When night comes, my dear,
And I lie down to rest,
I think of you dear Nom,
The one / loved the best,
And often the tears run down
my cheeks.
Until at last sleep comes to
me,
And l hope some day to meet
you,
In that happy home above.

IN MEMORY

In loving remembrance of our
dear husband and father, Char
les V. Clark who gave his life
in the service of his country ten
years ago, Jan. 18, l945
Gone is the face we loved so
dear,
Silent is the voice we loved
to hear,
Too far away for sight or
speech,
But not too far for thoughts
to reach,
Sweet to remember him, who
once was here,
And who tho absent is just
as dear.
Sadly missed by:
Wife, Thelma,

Firemen Toll
Hours in Cold
At5th and Y

Damage Of more than 81 mil
lion was estimated today in a fire
which completely burned out the
interior of a sprawling brick
building of the Barber & Ross
Co., Fifth and v streets NE.
Five alarms and three specials
sent 10 engine companies, six
truck companies, two rescue
squads and four battalion chiefs
to the hard-to-f1ght conf1agra-
ton. They labored for three
hours under the direction of Fire
Chief Willard H. Sutton before
the under control" signal was
given.
S. Ross Lipscomb. president Of
the hardware and building sup
plies firm, estimated the huge
loss. Most of the two-and-three
story building, stretching half a
block one way and one-third OF
a block the other, was used as
warehouses for such items as
power tools, stoves, washing
machines and other electrical
appliances-in heavy supply for
the Christmas season.
InfiammabIes Flare Up
Adding to the difficulties Of
firemen was the large amount OF
turpentine and paint which fed
the flames. Chief Sutton said
the liquids are impervious to wa
ter. They rise to the top and
continue to burn.
Sub-freezing temperatures also
added their hardships. Solid
sheets of ice formed on the
streets, and buildings and ap-
paratus, making footholds treach-
erous.
The first alarm was turned in
at 4:10 am. from a box by the
firms Waterman, Donate Sam
tangelo, SO, of 428 Massachu-
sets avenue NV. In quick sue
cession other alarms were
sounded at AIS, 4:25, 4:31 and
4::39, and the specials were Or
dered at SIT.
Lorenzo Christian '4S. colored.
of 654 Morris place NE, a JAM
