Bush Hill Farm House Destroyed by Fire
Bainbridge News & Republican, December 5, 1946
The one-story wood frame house on the Maurice Ireland farm, Bush Hill, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Shapley and family, was completely destroyed by fire last Friday morning; the cause of the fire is undetermined. The blaze was first discovered by the Pixley family, neighbors, about 7:45 a.m., who turned in the fire alarm. Apparently the interior of the entire house was ablaze before it broke out, as it was impossible to save anything upon the arrival of neighbors. The Bainbridge Fire Department responded to the call but the fire was too far advanced upon their arrival to save anything. No one was at home at the time the fire was discovered. Mr. and Mrs. Shapley had gone to work in Bainbridge and their children were with a neighbor. This is the second time that the house on this same site has been destroyed by fire in the last two years. At the time of the first fire the house was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Francis Gunther.
