Flames Cause a Loss of $3000 in Upper Darby. Article Text: Media, February 25.--The big barn on the property of the Daniel SHARKEY estate, in Upper Darby township, was destroyed by fire just before midnight last night. There were fifteen cows and four calves in the stable, and all were rescued except a horse and a cow and a calf in the back part of the building. A lot of hay, straw and some farming implements, and some root crops were destroyed. The loss on the building is about $3000, fully insured. There was no insurance on the stock. The origin of the fire is unknown, but tramps often slept in the barn, and it is believed that one of them accidentally caused the fire. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
