Nelsonville Home Destroyed. Fire Damages Estimated at 4000
Fire destroyed a Nelsonville residence on Imhi Avenue causing about 4000 in damage. The home, occupied by Mr and Mrs Andrews for weeks, was linked to a remodeling plan and a recently installed heating plant. Fire Chief Dana Wint observed the blaze may have originated in the fur area, with a water-reaching effort hampered by a burst fire plug. The occupants had been away when the incident occurred.
