Fire Destroys Home on East Columbus Ave in Vand erbilt
A fire started near a chimney on East Columbus Avenue in Vanderbilt, rapidly spreading through a one story wing and consuming the home of C. C. Nichols. The building, owned by W. M. Sandburg, was uninsured for contents, leaving a ten person family homeless. Neighbors helped salvage some belongings but the house burned to the foundations with an estimated loss around 400 dollars. Firefighters relied on chemicals due to high winds and the absence of water pressure, preventing effective containment despite a quick response.
