Newspaper Clippings for
July, 1895
from a loose clipping, source unknown 4 July 1895
The dwelling house on the old Scott Smith farm, one mile north of
Millburn, now owned and occupied by a Mr. Starkweather, was
burned on Thursday evening. July 4. Dan Webb was passing by, at
about 9 o'clock, and seeing smoke issuing from under the cornice,
with difficulty awakened the family and got them out just as the
flames burst from under the roof. The contents were mostly
saved, but the building burned to the ground. How the fire
started is a mystery, as there had been no fire near where the
flames broke out for some length of time. The building was
insured in the Millburn Mutual for $600.00.
