The home of Rev. D.A. Braswell was almost completely destroyed by fire shortly after 1 o’clock this afternoon. Nothing was saved, it was said, all the personal effects and furniture being consumed by the flames.
How the fire was started was not known. According to members of the family, when it was first noticed, the entire top of the home was a mass of flames and there was not sufficient time to rescue anything.
Mr. Braswell’s wife, who is an invalid, was carried out of the house to the home of a neighbor immediately after the fire was discovered.
In addition to Rev. and Mrs. Braswell, Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Jenkins and children resided in the house. They were unable to save any of their effects.
