Clymer, PA Store Fire, Jun 1906
Posted December 3rd, 2007 by Linda Horton
STORE BURNED AT CLYMER.
H. W. Wimer Loses Stock of Goods and Ed Widdowson the Building.
Fire completely destroyed the large store-room of Edward Widdowson, situated about a mile and a half north of Clymer, last Wednesday morning about 1 o'clock.
The room was occupied by H. W. Wimer and contained a new and rather complete stock of general merchandise all of which was destroyed.
Mr. Widdowson's loss on the building will reach $1,500, with no insurance. Mr. Wimer's loss is estimated at $1,500 which is partially covered by insurance to the amount of $1,000.
No cause for the fire can be ascertained, and it is thought to have been of incendiary origin.
Until a few weeks ago Mr. Wimer conducted a grocery store in the Mitchell property, on East Philadelphia street in this place, and he was just getting nicely started in business in his new location.
