The Waco Daily Examiner, Vol. 15, No. 111, Ed. 1 April 21, 1882
Mr John McCann an old and well known settler of the county who has been here 
twenty six years, yesterday informed us that his home on north Bosque, fifteen 
miles from this city, was totally destroyed by fire last Friday evening. He 
lost not only his house but all of his contents except one or two beds and one 
bedstead. The fire was the result of accident, no one being in the house at 
the  time it occured. The house was built about twenty years ago, the lumber 
being hauled here on wagons. It cost at that time $3,000.00, but could now be 
erected for one-third of the money. Mr. McCann did not have a cent of 
insurance. He is one of the settlers on the land now in dispute between 
Williams and Conger and has certainly seen his share of trouble. The old 
gentleman and his wife, in very easy circumstances before the war, have not 
lost courage the least by their reverses and we hope to see them in a new home 
again soon.
