Fire alarm and two sudden deaths shock Lena community
An overnight blaze at the freight depot was quickly put out by station staff using a Babcock extinguisher, with the fire traced to a stove pipe failure. George Kramer, a 20 year old marble cutter, died Saturday night after a rapid decline, and Charles Gilliam, about 80, died earlier Saturday near Lena, likely from heart trouble.
