Lovettsville Home Burned In Fire Across Texas? (Note: This line is invalid per content. Please provide a clean source text.)
A Lovettsville area house and most contents were destroyed by an early Monday fire started in a wash house near the Axline family. Brunswick firemen faced delays due to party line issues and water shortages, hampering the response. The residence, washhouse, and a new refrigerator were total losses, with a barn and chicken house partly saved. The fire broke out around 11 30 a m and the engine reached the scene after 12 25 p m, with hose lines and creek damming delaying water delivery. Insurance partially covered the loss. The Axline family learned of the blaze from a son working in Millville West Virginia.
