ONCE HOPKINSVILLIAN
Victim of Fire Loss in Indiana
Mr. Harry L. Means, formerly of this city but now of Charleston, Ind., lost
heavily by fire a few nights ago. The following item is taken from the
Hoosier Record published at Charleston:
The large barn of Harry L. Means at Iroquois Place just on the edge of town
was burned to the ground about 8:30 o'clock Friday evening, the loss being
in the neighborhood of $6,000 with only $1,000 insurance. Eight horses and
mules, including Rumbler, a fine stallion, and a number of pigs perished in
the building. The bar had just been filled with a large quantity of baled
hay and other feed and contained all of Mr. Means' farming machinery."
Mr. Means is a son of the late George W. Means and was reared in
Hopkinsville but moved with his parents to Louisville where he has a law
office.
