South Penn Street Homes Destroyed
On May 28, 1923 at 3:30 p.m., South Penn Street extended (the paper refers to this area as Wrightsville, I had never heard of the area being called that way before). When firemen arrived one house was well involved. With no hydrants in the area the firemen were of little use and the flames quickly spread to a neighboring home. Both homes were destroyed along with the contents of one. Most of the belongings in the exposure building were removed before the flames consumed it. Children playing with matches may have caused the fire. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm.

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.
