Seven Left Homeless In Fire
On October 5, 1944 at 4:00 a.m. firemen responded to the Roxbury Road near Mongul for a house fire.  A fire of undetermined origin completely destroyed an occupied 2-story log and brick house.  Because of a lack of water firemen were unable to save the house but were able to protect the barn and out buildings.  Seven people were displaced.  Damages were estimated at $5,000.  The Vigilant Hose Company extinguished the blaze.

guess the water line from roxbury wasn't in place yet
What happen on Friday? No history or just taking a break. Understand
Friday I had nothing prepared and with the views on the site down didn't feel like taking the time to come up with something before heading out of town last week.
