Fire destroys Clarke County house in Berryville
Noon blaze attributed to a defective flu gutted a two story house occupied by G W May of Rust Construction Co and his family. A family member smelled burning rags and found the second story fully ablaze before discovery. A draft from open windows fueled rapid flames. John H Enders Fire Co of Berryville responded but lacked facilities to save the building. Contents including clothing and canned goods were not insured. Property borders the du Pont estate in Clarke County.
