Lovely Murphey Home Destroyed by Fire
Last Sunday around two o clock the fire destroyed the beautiful home of Mr. Eneas Murphey on the Culloden road just outside the city limits. Sparks from the chimney ignited the roof and the concrete walls withstood the blaze. The furniture was saved by neighbors but the house and contents suffered heavy losses despite $1800 in insurance. The Murphews plan to rebuild soon.
