Loss was estimated at $30,000, including $20,000 in groceries, hay and grain stored for winter trade at the market. The blaze started from spontaneous combustion in the basement. It burned through the night leaving only four concrete walls standing the following morning. (T. Times 9/26/1934, pg.1) (WSHS)
