Fire destroys home of William Stewart family southwest of Rosebush

Neighbors alerted Rosebush and Weidman fire departments but the blaze was past saving. The couple, married last December, had just two weeks in the new house with new furniture and wedding gifts. The dog burned in the living room, and no insurance covered the home or contents, owned by Russell Cowden.
