Georgetown Fire Destroys Leonard Home on Friday
Neighbors rescued Mrs. Ferris Leonard from a burning one and a half story home in Georgetown as dense fog hindered early detection. Firefighters arrived but water shortages and the blaze destroying the kitchen area left the property a total loss estimated at 1000 dollars.
