December 10, 1936 at 10:00 p.m. firemen answered an alarm of fire at the Farmer’s Exchange store and Newton Grange Hall in Oakville, North Newton Township. An improperly installed furnace caused a fire that badly damaged a first floor store and extended upwards to the Grange Hall before firemen were able to contain it. Firemen from Shippensburg and Newville had the fire under control in 30 minutes. Damages were estimated at $600. The
Vigilant Hose Company assisted at the scene.
