1918: Ed Moore house fire

The Ed Moore farm house west of Inchelium was entirely destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon, and J. W. Crull, who with his family was living on the place, died of heart failure during the fire, as a result of over exertion. The fire started upstairs, only the organ and some bedding being rescued. Mr. Moore, who has been living at Inchelium, lost some household goods, pictures and relics which had been left in the house. He had some insurance on the property. Mr. Crull, who with his wife and three children occupied the home, formerly came from Weiser, Idaho, and lived at Deer Park last winter. He has four sons in the army, and a daughter lives at Weiser. He was 60 years of age.
