The handsome 10-room residence of Rev. Robt. W. George at Francisco was completely destroyed by fire on Friday morning of the past week, the fire being discovered in an upper room of the building about 11 o’clock in the day. Nearly all of the contents of the residence were lost. While no estimate of the loss has been made, it is very heavy. Mr. George, it is stated, covered $5,000 insurance, though this will cover only a part of the loss.
The origin of the fire was not known.
This is the third time Mr. George has lost his home by fire since his marriage. It is stated he will re-build at once on the same site.
