Residence Burned

Wednesday morning about 10 o’clock , Mrs. R(ebecca)F(rances 
)Tison’s residence near Ellaville was burned to the ground. 
The flames from the house reached the smoke house, which was
also completely destroyed.  About half the contents of the
dwelling and all the contents of the smoke house were saved.
The cause of the fire was supposed to have been from a
defective stove flew.  The loss is estimated at $2000 with
no insurance.-Schley County News. (Note:  Mrs. Tison was the
