Fire nearly wipes out TeBockhorst farmhouse
A two story frame farmhouse owned by Aelred TeBockhorst, five miles east of Washington on Highway 92, was almost a total loss when a fire started about 11 a.m. caused by a furnace. Mrs. Laura TeBockhorst escaped in a print dress and slippers after discovering smoke and tried to summon help. Neighbors and the Washington and Ainsworth fire departments responded. Aelred saved some papers, but little else could be saved. The milkman Mr. Simons arrived to help as the scene cooled.
