Va., probably the finest rosidene. se.tion of the country. wts in that reduced to ashes Monday morning. Members of the family trapped In their bedrooms on tho second story ot the home had narrow es-capes. Hugh Kearfooi, a niong the .- many Martinsville ' men who did all they coulil to si.ive some of 'the eiTects of the house was badly injured when a wall fell on him, breaking bis thigh. He was removed' as soon as possible to a hospital in Roanoke to have the hone set and to receive treatment. How Ihe lire started has not been learned, but it is thought that a short circuit of an electric .wire in the low er storv ignited one of the. rooms, the fire taking a rapid hold and spreading in such a way as to defy the efforts of the Martinsville (ire department. The Kucker home is one of the show places of that section and was un doubtedly the finest home in" Martin's-. Yille. . The home was (modern in every sense Of the word and even contained a laundry plant in the basement. ...Magnificent, colonial furniture hand ed down from former generations em bellshod the interior and this Went up in smoke, but very little being saved The furniture is regarded as irreplac eable.' The bouse as it stood ; repre sented a value today of at least ..$l0o. 000, many modern improvements- hav ing been made from time to time Col Kucker had the home only partially 'nsuml, there being $:!0,000 insurance on the house and $10,000 In the furni tare.
