Fire Routs Family Home on Ocean Avenue in Revere
A blaze at 4:15 yesterday gutted a cottage on Ocean Avenue occupied by Thomas Barker, his wife, and their 10 year old daughter. The family lost all possessions except clothing, with the two parents away at the time. The stove area near waste paper ignition sparked the fire, no insurance covered the Barker household effects, and the owner was Boston’s McElaney. Friends seek aid for the distressed family.
