The Harper Advocate Harper County Thursday August 31, 1922 Fire Destroys Farm Home Wed. Fire Which Started in Summer Kitchen Completely Destroys Home of Mahlon Domnick. Fire which started in the summer kitchen, completely destroyed the from home of Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon DOMNICK, six miles east of Harper Wednesday morning at seven o'clock. Mr. Domnick had started a fire in the stove in the summer kitchen early in the morning and had then gone out to the barn. Mrs. Domnick came out of the house a few minutes later to find the kitchen in flames. The alarm was given immediately, but the flames, aided by the wind and the dryness of everything, had such a headway, that within an hour the house had been completely consumed. Aided by the neighbors who arrived to give their assistance, part of the furniture and household effects were removed from the downstairs rooms, but much of the family's clothing and furniture that was in the upstairs rooms was completely destroyed. The loss was partially covered by insurance. The house was the former home of Mrs. Fred Domnick and family and was built in 1904. It being then one of the largest houses in that part of the country, having eleven rooms, closets, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon Domnick are making their home in a cook-shack on the farm until another house can be built.
