Night Blaze Proves Worth of Henderson Waterworks
Henderson's new water system proved its worth when a barn fire near the H. B S Paul residence spread toward east Henderson. Discovered about 11 30 by Hil Seherle the blaze threatened the Paul and Butterfield properties as Emerson and Macedonia fire crews battled it under strong winds. Water enabled crews to control the flames with no livestock harmed though machinery burned. State fire marshal Gail Odum of Atlantic investigated Friday morning.
