Two Barn Fires
Middle Paxton Twp, Dauphin Co, PA
October 3, 1934
On the morning of Wednesday, October 3, 1934, the fuel tank of an automobile owned by Cloyd Trutt exploded, resulting in a fire that destroyed two barns one mile north of Dauphin in Clarks Valley. Trutt was the tenant on the Hocklander estate and used the barn as a garage. The other destroyed barn was on the adjoining farm of Frank Ryder. The Dauphin firemen were summoned and their efforts were confined to saving other nearby buildings. |
