Charles Hershberger Badly Burned in Farm Fire Sunday

Charles Hershberger, Baldwin farmer, was seriously burned Sunday when fire 
destroyed a barn on his farm. Mr. Hershberger, who resides on the farm with a 
brother, Abe, was alone when he discovered the fire in a barn some distance 
from the farm home.

His clothing was apparently ignited when he attempted to battle the flames and 
in the excitement he jumped into a reservoir.

His brother, who returned some time later, noticed smoke coming from the 
structure and upon investigation found him seriously burned and swimming in 
the icy water of the reservoir. He was removed to a Davenport hospital where 
his condition is serious.
