Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 January 1901 — Van Lesh’s House Burned. [ARTICLE]

Van Lesh’s House Burned.

Saturday afternoon the residence of Vannie Lesh, about 6 miles north of town, and in Union Tp, took fire and was burned down. It was thought the fire started from a defective flue. Only a portion of the household goods were saved. It was a pretty good house and had been built only a few years. It was insured in J. F. Bruner’s agency, but we did not learn how fully the loss was covered.
