Fire Destroys Kernstown Home
A Kernstown residence owned by Martin Grabill of Washington DC and looked after by his daughter Mrs. Philip Crisman burned yesterday. The second floor blaze caused total loss of the structure and belongings with an estimated $1000 in damages after neighbors aided in moving items as water supply failed. Mrs Porthebeugh and her daughter were at home and escaped with assistance from passers-by and a Winchester fire truck arriving too late.
