Mrs. Lucia LaShomb and three other children and three boarders were not at home when the blaze broke out. Firemen from five engine companies under direction of District Chief Francis Carroll fought the fire more than half an hour before bringing it under control and early today only the shell of the two-story wooden frame dwelling remained. Mrs. LaShomb, her sons, Jerry, Edward, and Mark, Dominick Corsivo, a roomer of the first floor apartment, and David Murphy and Ivan Wallace, roomers on the second floor, were not at home at the time of the fire. Corsivo and Murphy returned home about 10:45 p.m. and on entering the house smelled smoke. Murphy searched the second story while Corsivo hunted the fire on the first floor. Corsivo said he discovered the fire in a first floor bedroom and gave the alarm to Murphy who telephoned for fire department assistance. On discovering the fire, Corsivo searched the other bedrooms on the first floor and roused Cynthia and her brother Richard who were asleep. The sleepy children did not have sufficient time to dress entirely but fled the house and were given temporary shelter at the home of Mrs. Roy Towne, 610 Mathson st. (more details)
