Neighbors are invited to the convention at Odd Fellows hall in Highland Park Wednesday after-- noon and evening, October 29th. The residence of Frank T. Fowler at' Lake Villa, was totally destroyed by fire about noon Sunaay causing a loss estimated at $10,000 or more. Members of the Fowler family were eating lunch at the time and don't know how the fire started. The blaze apparently started in the second story as that portion of the building was quite badly damaged before the fire was discovered. The Fowlers with the aid of neighbors succeeded in saving practically all of the furniture of the ground floor but lost many of the fur-- nishings in the second story. Mrs. Edith Keeley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, lost practically all of her jewelry valued at hundreds of dollars which she had in a jewel case in her bedroom. In addition to the Lake Vil-- la fire department the Antioch depart-- ment made an effort to save the build-- ing but were unsuccessful, Mr,. Fow-- ler had just negotiated with William Wrace for the sale of 'the residence preparatory to moving to Waukegan. The house was a two«story structure of cement block and frame construc-- tion. It is possible that the fire start-- ed from crossed wires in the attic. Famil' at Lunch at Time and Did Not Know Second Story Was Ablaze. The fire was discovered by Gene Wilton, a ne'ghbor of the Fowlers, who called the Antioch Fire depart-- ment. On account of the scarcity of water the department was able to do little except as a bucket brigade. The firemep and others fought the blaze for ; hours and their efforts were directed Jargely to saving a¢-- fjoining property. They pushed in the walls of the Fowror residence.to prevent the fire from spreading. Four or five hundred people witnessed the blaze. + s HOME BURNED IN MYSTERY SUNDAY The Logical Choice of the Careful Buyer The Touring Car +290 z::'e:: .:-y ca' model by Terms forithe belance, Or you can buy on the Ford i srasien n 62,003 4 ho Phed ie w ue aeighborkood will Eladtp ogancblt fant n botch plans in l.'gfllfir colncident~ was that Mr. Fowler had sold his home the day before to a Mr. Race.
