The insurance had just run out, and Mr. Sullivan intended renewing it yesterday. Sullivan was awakened by the fire and hurried his wife to the yard. Then he made his way to the second story where the children were asleep, that part of the house being wrapped in flames, Sullivan gathered two of the youngsters in his arms, directed another to climb on his back, and carried them out of the house through the smoke and flames. Then he went back after the older ones. He met them coming down the stairway. The clothing of one child was on fire. The father grabbed him up and ran to the yard, but before the clothing could be torn from him, the boy was horribly burned. Sullivan and his family stood half clad in the cold night air and watched their home burn to ashes. Assistance from neighboring farmhouses came but too late.
