"Fire Destroys Barn 
    The large and commodious barn of Geo. W. Harden, one mile west of 
Rockford, was destroyed by fire last Friday afternoon, and for some time 
his elegant residence was in great danger. The barn and its contents 
were highly inflammable and burnt very rapidly and a high wind arose 
driving the flames in the direction of his dwelling - a building between 
the barn yard and main building increased the danger. But neighbors 
gathered at the first sight of the fire and by precautionary work saved 
all except the barn." (1)
