Newburg House Burns

On January 8, 1932 at 9:00 p.m. a call was made to Shippensburg for firemen to respond to a house fire on North High Street, Newburg. A fire of undetermined origin that started in the basement of an occupied seven-room 2-story frame house destroyed the building and almost all its contents. Neighbors forming a bucket brigade were able to protect the surrounding buildings until the fire department arrived. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose Company 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.
