of Aged Lady Badly Damaged Last Thursday
New Lisbon, March 13---The residence of Mrs. Emma
Telfer on the Morris-Garrattsville state road near Garrattsville,
came near being totally destroyed by fire about noon Thursday.
Mrs. Telfer, who lives alone, heard a strange noise
upstairs, and went to investigate. As she opened the stair door,
smoke came rushing from the room above. She quickly gave the alarm
and within a short time the Morris and Edmeston fire companies
arrived and with the help of many neighbors succeeded in saving the
building from being completely destroyed. The fire was confined to
the upright part, which was in the center of the building, the entire
upper portion being burned. It is thought that the fire caught from
the chimney in the attic. The building was insured with the
Cooperstown Co-operative company.
