Century-old Perry home gutted by blaze as volunteers respond
Firefighters from Kanwaka Rural Kaw Oskaloosa and Fairview townships battled a blaze that destroyed a century-old Perry residence. Tomlin family worried salvage may be limited though first floor structure could offer some recovery. Sheriff Roy Dunn witnessed the effort as flooding-tinged water soaked the yard and a neighbor described flames seen from Lecompton. Nancy Tomlin and sister Sherry Welter rushed from work to assist, while insurance may not cover all losses.
