Two Newcastle Women Burned To Death
Miss Sarah Thompson aged 93 and Miss Anna Belle Swim aged 77 of Newcastle died in the Wallbridge house while tending a stove on Tuesday January 28. Neighbors broke down a door but could not save them as Miss Swim’s clothing caught fire during ash removal and Miss Thompson, likely chairbound due to a hip ailment, remained nearby. The old Wallbridge house, built in 1819, has historic ties to the community dating to 1824 when the first Methodist services were held there.
