Fire damages Clarke House near Berryville
A wing of the Osborne Vorous farm home three miles southwest of Berryville was heavily damaged by fire last night. The Cleveland Woodward family lived there. Smoke hampered John H. Enders and Boyce fire brigades as they fought the blaze for about four hours, ripping off stucco to enter the old log structure. The fire likely started in the kitchen flue before the family, away shopping, returned to find the house in flames. One room was largely involved on arrival.
