Democrat - FRIDAY, 26 MARCH 1868
DISASTROUS FIRE - Mr. H.N. MINER informed us in regard to the burning of his residence, at Hanover, on the 16th inst. There was a high wind at the time, and the house caught fire in the front roof, by sparks from the chimney. Mr. M. was away from home, and his wife being in the back part of the house, did not discover the fire at once. No help was near and everything was burned up. Not a thing was saved, not even a change of clothing for any of the family, nor a particle of provision, or an article of furniture, or a cooking utensil; the library, and in fact everything was burned, leaving him and his family in a destitute condition. $160 in money was burned, and he has left but $3.15. Mr. MINER is a Mason and in distress.
