Couple loses home in fire

For Billy and Gladys Stewart, the unexpected has happened.
The morning of Nov. 6, the Stewarts’ wood stove began to smoke. A few minutes later, the whole house was filled with flames.
According to Billy, his wife was in the basement and saw the wood stove as it began to smoke. Assuming the problem was in the flue, he tried to clear it.
“I tried to punch it out, but it wasn’t working,” Billy said.
By this time the whole house was filled with smoke. Billy opened the doors to bring in some fresh air, and Gladys went outside to get away from the smoke. He went to the closet to try to get some air to the chimney.
