Fire destroys two story log dwelling in Hagerstown
Mrs Sargilla Funk owned the two story log dwelling occupied by George Parish, a colored man, who lost savings of about 1800 dollars in cash stored in a sofa. The fire, likely incendiary, destroyed all furniture including piano and a 200 hand carved mahogany wardrobe, two gold watches valued at 75 dollars each, leaving only two dollars and fifty cents in silver. Parish attempted retaliation after seeing someone running from the house, firing two shots but missing. Loss estimated at 25000 dollars with no insurance.
