The residence of G. W. Wray at North Pine Grove was burned Friday week morning about one o'clock. The origin of the fire is not known, but is supposed to have been caused by an overheated gas stove. Some household goods on the lower story was saved, but all in the upper story were burned.
The loss will be about $1500, on which there was an insurance of $800. We understand Mr. Wray will rebuild in the spring.
Miss Lizzie Love, a sister of Mrs. Wray, was in the house at the time of the fire suffering with consumption. She was moved to a neighboring house where she died Monday morning of this week, death possibly being hastened by the excitement.
