Fire destroys country home of Hanrahan family in Madison township
A Sunday morning fire about 10 o clock destroyed the Hanrahan family home in Madison township, damaging the second story and basement contents. Fire protection failed due to water pressure, with a fresh east wind aiding in saving the brick front and rear frame portion. The brick front housed a two story building plus basement, with provisions and lard lost. The property, owned by Matthew and Anthony Hanrahan with Misses Mary and Theresa Hanrahan, suffered partial insurance coverage. This follows six farm houses and one barn burned nearby recently. The Hanrahans urge township fire equipment purchase.
