Christmas Night Fire Leaves Hillside Family Homeless
A blaze at 101 Conant St on Christmas night damaged the Clinton home, leaving Joe and Elberta Clinton and their three daughters without a house. Neighbors start Clinton Fire Fund to aid with repairs and living expenses as fire officials estimate $25 000 in damage and note a faulty chimney as the probable cause. The family and others express gratitude for community support and shelter offers.
