Rehobeth Church Destroyed By Saturday Fire
The beautiful Presbyterian church at Rehobeth burned to the ground Saturday night. Fire started in a wall near the ceiling, likely from a defective stove. The Christian Endeavor society had adjourned moments earlier. Water could not save the roof as it collapsed. Seats, the pupil, organ, and Bible were saved. Built in 1972, the church faced a heavy loss, though insured for a thousand dollars, far short of replacement costs. Community members vow to rebuild.
