Smokehouse Destroyed, Wood Shed Damaged In Blaze

On January 10, 1934 at 1:30 a.m. firemen were dispatched to a smokehouse fire one mile north of Newburg on the road leading to McKinney (I don’t know where that is). A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a smokehouse with four hogs inside and damaged a wood shed. Firemen were able to save the house and barn only fifteen feet away. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose Company answered the alarm.

    Brad,
    McKinney is the little "village" on Rt 997 in the area of the Blue Mountain Turnpike Interchange.

    Back in the 70's, right after I moved to Ship, some resident put a "toilet" out along the road (just down from the Turnpike entrance) and marked it "McKinney Rest Stop."

    Thanks guys, I didn't know that. TC when you posted before I scratched my head for some time before figuring out who you were. After seeing the hits on my site from Texas I put it together. I hope you like the site, Brad.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
