Democrat; Perry Co., PA; 4/11/1883; Wednesday 1883 Mr. John DUNBAR's little son, who has been lying very sick for several weeks at the residence of his grandfather, Capt. C. ROTH, in this borough, is now convalescing. On last Saturday night the house and barn, late the property of William GRAY, in the extreme western end of this county, in Toboyne township, were destroyed by fire. A Mr. DAVIS discovered the fire in the barn and ran to a neighbor. When he returned the whole inside of the dwelling house was also in flames and both were totally consumed. Mr. Gray was in this place at the time of the fire. The property was sold at sheriff's sale last January and purchased by Judge Junkin, who had it insured immediately in the Millersburg company for $1000. Report says that the fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. Mrs. Thomas SUTCH is very ill and no hopes are entertained for her recovery.
