FARM HOME IS PREY OF FLAMES NEAR MISHICOT
Mrs. Huss Heavy Loser in Fire that Wipes Out Home in Steiner's Corners Friday
While the family and hired hand were busy Friday afternoon cutting barley in a nearby field, fire, starting from some unknown cause, completely destroyed the two story, ten room frame dwelling on the farm of Mrs. Edward Huss, a half mile north and east of Steiners Corners, on the Mishicot Road. Neighbors who rushed to the aid of the family succeeded in saving some of the furniture. The loss will run into several thousands of dollars but it was said that the loss was nearly covered by insurance which was renewed in June.
Mrs. Huss, a widow with her son and daughter and a hired man were across the highway working near the granary when the fire was first discovered at 4:30 o'clock. They rushed to the building, immediately starting to carry out furniture when they saw it was useless to try to stop spread of the blaze. The fire evidently started in the attic or on the roof and was well underway before noticed. Pine tarred shingles were food for the flames. Bucket brigades organized quickly by neighbors fought the fire for some time until heat from the flames
became too intense. Mrs. Huss suffered several cut fingers when a glass window in a door crashed over her and was immediately rushed out of the flaming structure by Henry Thielbar, a neighbor. Harry Thielbar and William Tegen suffered slight injuries to the eyes when chemicals they were using in efforts to quench the flames squirted in their faces.
The Mishicot Fire truck, manned by the volunteer department members were on the scene but could do nothing to save the home. Absence of wind probably saved the large barn and other buildings across the roadway, for flames from the burning building mounted high, fed by the all wood structure. Mrs. Huss plans to build a small two or three room abode for the time being in which to live with her family. The farm is a 150 acre tract of land.
