We have just learned of the misfortune that Mr. Sanders L. Lynch of Bentonville Township had about one week ago when late at night by some unknown cause fire broke out in the kitchen part of his home-house and destroyed the house and all of the household and kitchen furniture except one bed, one trunk and maybe two or three other minor articles. Mr. Lynch’s loss was great, and the sad part of it is that he and his wife are not able to work much and are people of small means. These old people will appreciate any help from any one that feel that they can contribute any amount to them. If it is not convenient for you to see them, you may leave your contribution at The Herald office in Smithfield.
We thank you in advance for any and all contributions.
From the front page of The Smithfield Herald, Tuesday, Oct. 16, 1923.
