Recall of a Tragedy Inspires Owosso Fire Memory
In Owosso Michigan on February 20 a farm residence burned destroying the home of William Quinn. The loss stood at 3500 with 1500 covered by insurance. Mrs Quinn rescued her young son from a upstairs bedroom as the blaze sparked memories of the Comstock tragedy four teen years earlier. A copper powder horn found in the ruins is linked to Perry Comstock the famed Owosso hunter who killed his wife after a jealous dispute and then killed himself.
