Boston Store – This community was thrown into great excitement on Monday by discovering David Fruits’ house on fire. By the time our citizens reached the house the flames had made such progess that it was impossible to save the house. They saved most of the contents. And here a new cause of alarm met their view. Mrs. Fruits was found to be in a dying condition from fright. All that could be done for her was of no avail. The remains were removed to the residence of James Morrow where all was done for the family that could be by any kind neighbors.
