Weston, MA McCausland Estate Fire, Jan 1908
Posted August 31st, 2008 by lori hedges
Boston Banker's Home At Weston Is Burned
Weston, Jan. 26, Lack of water so badly handicaped (sic) the Weston firemen in fighting a blaze on the Conant road estate of George G. McCAUSLAND, vice president of the First National Bank in Boston, early this evening, that the house and barn were destroyed, entailing a loss of over $12,000. Some of the contents of the dwelling were saved. Nobody was at home but a daughter, the rest of the family being in Maine. The fire started in a rear room upstairs, but how, is not known. Mr. McCAUSLAND had laid out about $5000 on the place since he bought it last summer.
