Gilbreath Home Burns In Sudden House Fire
The A. D. Gilbreath residence in the southeast part of town, formerly the Mary Hendricks place, burned almost entirely Tuesday at noon. Mrs. Gilbreath, cooking in the kitchen, stepped out momentarily and returned to a wall of flame. She rescued her two year-old son and raised the alarm as neighbors saved only a few pieces of furniture. The house was insured for 1000 dollars, contents insured for the same, but the contents policy had lapsed August 12 and was not renewed. The home belonged to Mrs. Gilbreath's sister, who lives in Texas.
