Stored Grain Lost In Fire In Chaseburg Wisconsin
On Wednesday noon a fire at the Leonard Skrede farm on Chaseburg Ridge destroyed two corn cribs with 1949 corn, a granary holding about 600 bushels of oats, a fanning mill, machine shed, plows and tools. A tractor was saved by Skrede using the family car. Elsie Christianson raised the alarm and about 30 firefighting units arrived, but limited water supply hindered efforts though the barn was spared. Some oats were salvaged later.
