Home Fire Destroys Snyder Six Room House
A six room dwelling owned by Andrew Snyder, foreman at D. C. Curry & Co planing mill, burned to ashes between two and three a.m. Sunday, likely from a flue defect. The family escaped with little clothing as neighbors saved some belongings. Insurance totaled 1,000 with Western Mutual Urbana. Firefighters faced muddy streets and a wind hill, saving the barn but the residence was a total loss. Snyder plans to rebuild and received community aid while neighbors propose better fire equipment.
