Fire Destroys Home Of Elijah Dancer In Rising Hill Ward
Firefighters and residents watched the Elijah T. Dancer home burn after a coal fire heated a wall causing a blaze last evening. Water access was poor, the five room house valued about 1200 dollars was saved only for furniture stored in a nearby tin shop. The owner, previously injured in a fall, was away at the time and a nearby vacant cottage may be rented to keep him close to his shop.
