Fire Destroys Barn Near Walnut Bottom
On September 8, 1940 at 8:00 p.m. firemen were sent to just outside Walnut Bottom for a barn fire. A fire caused by spontaneous combustion destroyed a two-story barn and its contents. Also lost were a hog pen and several hogs. Damages were estimated at $5,000. Vigilant Hose fireman Mark Snoke suffered a heart attack while battling the blaze. The Vigilant Hose Company and Friendship Hose of Newville answered the alarm. Later in the day both companies answered another working barn fire in Newville’s area, that post will be left for another year.

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.
Maybe we should try this now? How will think it will fly?
ReplyDeleteI guess no one wants to comment on one big Shippensburg Fire Dept Picnic. I think this would be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteHey Sparky, now you know how I feel when I go weeks without a comment. It gets lonely, good thing I have all these imaginery friends in my head to go along with my friends, Jack, Porter and old grand dad.
