Morrellville Fire

 
I have no idea why my grandfather kept this clipping except maybe these people were friends of his or because the fire was near his house on Chandler:
A city fireman steps from the gutted first floor of a gutted Morrellville home Friday to get a breath of fresh air and is confronted with piles of rubble----once the furniture and other belongs of Mr. and Mrs. Herman E. Escherich, 186 Blaine Street. Firemen from Companies 2 and 5 and the high pressure unit battled the blaze for nearly an hour before bringing it under control.

  1. Anyone know what year this happened? I'm trying to gauge by the clothing styles, but it's too hard to tell
