The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, November 28, 1874 November 28, 1874

James COY, while driving from Perry, Monday evening, discovered a fire in the
roof of Wm. FINCH's residence. He climbed to the roof and with water carried him
by Mrs. F. extinguished the flames just in time to save the building. The pipe
from the stove ran up the roof but not beyond it, and the sparks ignited the
shingles. Mrs. As Mrs. F. was alone with the children, the probabilities are
that the house would have been burned down but for the opportuen arrival of Mr.
Coy.
