Members of the Southern Pines
Fire Department responding to an
alarm from Lniteview, at 1:00 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon^ found the home
of Palmer Causey enveloped in flames
and beyond hope of saving.
The inten.se heat generated by the
blazing pine timbers of the flaming
st^'icture menaced the house facing
the Causey home, and the spread of
grass and brush fires threatened to!
involve the adjacent house owned by
Miss L.ucille Bacon.
Firemen braving the waves of
heat borne toward them on the
southcrry wind kept a stream of
water on the Bacon property as
many voUmteers handled the gra.ssj
fire.*!. The Causey home, a large
frame structure of 1,'5 rooms, known
for many years as the Oaitlner house
burned to the ground within one.half
hour following the discovery of the
fire, believod to have originated in
the kitchen. !
Some furniture and per.sonal ef-'
fects of the family were saved, but
over 1,000 of the Alicc Woodruff
library books stored in the house
were lost. I
