Two Residences Swept by Flames near Blanchardville
Fire destroyed one house and caused about 4000 dollars of damage to a second at the Thomas Cleary farm four miles north of Blanchardville on county trunk roads. The Cleary family escaped unharmed as Blanchardville and Hollandale volunteers battled the blaze with help from nearby farmers. The newer home suffered smoke and water damage while the original stood behind it was completely burned. Mrs Thomas Cleary was nearby tending chores when the blaze started, and investigators suspect a lard fire ignited the disaster.
