Blaze Destroys
Charles Hale
Home In Halifax
The old Charles Hale home in
Halifax, unoccupied for sometime,
was destroyed by fire on Friday
night, April 13, about 2 o’clock.
The blaze was discovered by two
truck drivers passing on the high
way one block from the scene of
the fire.
It was said that the truckmen,
who did not know that the dwell
ing was unoccupied, broke down
the front door in an effort to
waken anyone sleeping in the
house. When they discovered that
the building was unoccupied, they
called neighbors who turned in the
alarm.
The Halifax fire department,
which used all equipment in an
effort to save the dwelling, was
unable to stop the blaze, the fire
having gained too much headway
when they arrived.
The old home, which was at
one time an attractive residence,
had recently been purchased by
R. H. Wright and family, who
planned to occupy it the following
day. It is thought the blaze start
ed from defective wiring.
