           OLD LANDMARK BURNED MONDAY
           
           CLAY BANKS - One of the oldest landmarks of this town was
         destroyed by fire Monday when the old farm home of W. H. Warren
         was burned. The place was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. George
         Jergenson, who lost all their belongings stored on the upper
         story.
           Mrs. Jorgenson is teaching school in the second district
         and was away at the time of the fire, as was also her husband.
         The blaze was discovered by neighbors who removed all the
         household goods from the lower floor.
           The house, or most of the building, was erected by W. H.
         Warren, who came to Door county in 1855 and was one of the
         first settlers of the town of Clay Banks. The building stood
         near a crossroads and was the center of much social activity
         in the early days when Salona was one of the busy centers of
         this township. The property is now owned by Mrs. Ruth Spalsbury.
