George Powlas Loses Barn, Cows, Horses, Feed, Implements to Fire, March 4, 1926

Western Rowan County Man Loses Barn and His Stock

Salisbury, March 4—George F. Powlas, farmer living in western Rowan, lost his barn by fire and with it five cows, three horses, lots of feed stuff and a number of farming implements. The fire occurred some time during the night and the family did not know of it until early the next morning when a neighbor, seeing the embers still glowing where the fire had occurred, awakened them. There was no insurance.
