Fire Destroys Hartman Livery Barn and McCoy Store
Last Friday night around midnight a fire in the Hartman livery barn and adjacent structures devastated multiple buildings in Osgood. The blaze consumed a hay barn, feed, buggies, carriages, and seventeen horses, then swept the Hartman dwelling, saloon, and a new brick building, followed by the McCoy store. Losses were estimated up to twenty thousand dollars for McCoy and partners, with insurance about ten thousand on goods and five thousand on the building. Hartman’s losses were heavy and likely uninsured. The town’s residents aided bravely, earning communal sympathy and urging recovery for Osgood.
