Fire Destroys Furnishings in Stratford Home
Stratford Nov 18. A fire caused by over wiring in the bedroom of Arthur Sundbye on Barnum terrace destroyed furnishings and led to a substantial monetary loss. Mrs Sundbye extinguished the blaze with her bare hands, avoiding the need for the fire department. Louis Peek, the insurance adjuster, was notified for the claim. The town and draft registration process occupied officials who assisted registrants with questionnaires as the return deadline neared. Alfred W Stacey, a respected woodman, now runs a big saw at Housatonic shipyard. A local farmer considered building a new home near the center reflects wartime sentiment and changing property plans. The piece ends with an advertisement for Fire and Automobile Insurance from Poets, 2318 Main St. Stratford.
