The Mrs. Hemphill house on north Front street is being torn down, the timber having been bought by Hiram Day, who will use it in erecting a new house. Since Mrs. Hemphill and Mr. and Mrs. Honan have been living in their new home just north of the old house it has been occupied but little and boys have broken out many of the windows and the property was somewhat of a fire trap. It was built originally about 70 years ago, and was enlarged and remodeled in the early seventies. Mrs. Hemphill will not build on it for the present.
