This Day in History: 1918-06-28
Fire completely destroyed a barn full of hay on Island Rd., belonging to Albert Winter. By the time the fire company arrived there was little they could do but protect nearby buildings. Even with only a light breeze blowing, burning shingles were carried a considerable distance. Finally the firemen used a wire to pull the burning building over so that it would not burn so high. The loss may exceed $1,000. The cause is a mystery since no one had been in the barn for several days. (Bristow)
