Fire at lumber camp kills seven in West Virginia
A blaze at Otto Creek Lumber Company near Hambleton WV, early Tuesday last week, killed seven boarding house workers and injured others. George Preston VanHorn, 25, of near Georgeville, county resident, died. The stove on the first floor likely overheated, trapping men on the second floor. Pay from the day before burned in the blaze along with much company money. Bodies were burned beyond recognition and were buried that week in Gilgal church cemetery. VanHorn served in Company A, Heavy Artillery during the Spanish American War and is survived by his parents and siblings.
