Fire destroys pre-Civil War home in Franklin County
The Evening blaze raged about four hours at a two story structure on Lane and Greeley, including a stone cabin and an addition once linked to the Underground Railroad. Karen Register said her son Todd lived there alone and could not be reached for comment. A previous owner allegedly hid slaves in false walls and attic. Historian Deborah Barker says she’s not familiar with the house. Lane and Greeley area has Civil War era ties. This is the Registers' second historic home loss to fire, following a 2008 fire that destroyed their 1869 rural Greeley house.
