Quisenberrry Home Old Land Mark was Burned
The Examiner last week told of the burning of Willis Rasor's home near Lebanon. The Frisco Journal has the following report:
The home of Willis Rasor, east of Frisco on the old Quisenberry home place, burned to the ground Sunday night, January 22, about 10 o'clock, cause of the fire unknown. The total loss amounts to approximately $3000 with no insurance.
Mr. Rasor and family had retired about 7 o'clock, their daughter, Miss Margaret, being ill and were all the in deep sleep when the fire broke out. The glare of the flames awakened Mr. Rasor. Most of the bed clothing, two beds, a Victrola and several other articles were saved, but not of the contents of the house, including their clothing, was destroyed because the fire had gained such headway before discovery, and the rooms in which the clothes, their meat, the canned goods and much other stuff, was kept were destroyed during the first few minutes of the fire.
The fire started in the north end of the house, the wind blowing from the south at the time, which fact may be responsible for the family escaping with their lives.
Mr. Rasor had about completed a chicken house the day before the fire and was to finish it Monday. This house came in good stead after the fire, the house being 20x40, into which the family moved all of the stuff that was saved, and Monday he and the boys made a substantial floor of the old lumber on the place and are comfortable housed thereby until summer, when he will likely build a more up-to-date and substantial home.
The house destroyed was built 20 years ago by Mr. C. V. QuisenBerry on the farm just south of the Crozier old home place, where Mr. Rasor has been living for the past several years.
The favorable south winds was from the direction of the barns and graineries, therefore one of the other many buildings on the place were endangered by the flames.
Mrs. Rasor stated that she had canned goods sufficient to last two years all of which was destroyed.
Hogs killed recently, and all of the lard, were destroyed.
