Lyle GILLILANDS awakened about 3 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 26, to a smoke-filled house but, with the help of neighbors, were ablet to get some furniture
and clothes out before fire gutted the inside of their three-bedroom, frame farm house.
Fire totally destroyed a car after an accident Tuesday night. Janice Lucille BROWN, of rural Diagonal, was driving a 1981 Buick Regal west on
a gravel road eight miles northwest of Mount Ayr at 9:30 p.m. January 25 when she went into a ditch off of slick roads during a snowstorm.
The car caught fire and burned up, totally destroying the car. The Mount Ayr Volunteer Fire Department was called to the scene of the accident.
