Fire at Cheltenham Destroys Part of Butcher Shop
Fire at the butcher shop occupied by Willand Wilson in the old Cheltenham hotel caused over 500 dollars in damage on Monday. The blaze, likely starting in the refrigeration system, spread through most rooms used for Wilson’s business. Villagers led by Pred Jones helped move furniture from Wilson’s apartment and formed a bucket brigage, using Credit River water to extinguish the flames before major damage. The hotel is owned by Mrs Arthur Lyons of Brampton and insurance partially covered the loss.
