Amy Jensen Fire

The Montpelier Examiner, May 28, 1913

 

The residence owned by Miss Amy Jensen and occupied by C H Buck and family was partially destroyed by fire, which started about 7 o'clock last Saturday morning.  Neighbors who saw the flames issuing from the roof hurried to the house to awaken Mr. and Mrs. Buck, who were asleep in a bedroom downstairs.

Practically all of the furniture was removed from the house and Mr. Buck places his loss at about $125.  The house damaged to the extent of about $300.  The origin of the fire is a mystery.  There had been no fire in any of the stoves since the evening before and no one was occupying the room in which the fire started.
