From Loss By Fire At Mt. Zion

night of December % the home OF
Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Bickford was
discovered burning on the roof
around flue by M. Sgt. and Mrs.
R. Curtis Boatwright when they
were returning home about 1l::3O
from a visit. They awakened the
Bickford family and by that time
others stopped by and helped with
bucket brigade to put out the fire.
Fortunately the damage was not
estimated to be too much.
Less than quarter of a mile
down the road the home of Mr..
and Mrs A. D. deBettencourt
caught fire from a basement stove
on Christmas Eve. The Volunteer
Fire Department was summoned
from DillWyn. but again the bucket
brigade had successfully put out
the fire. The. timbers of the base
ment were badly scorched and the
house is smoked outside by smoke
seeping from under the weather
boards. We are very glad neither
family lost their home.
