Church Building Burns

On March 17, 1872 at 9:00 p.m. Shippensburg residents were startled by the cry of fire, it was soon learned that the blaze was to the rear of the Church of God. A small frame building containing the apparatus used for generating the gas for lighting in the main church was destroyed in an accidental fire. The rear of the Church sustained a small amount of fire damage. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant and Cumberland Valley Fire 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.
