Bio: Busse, Marvin – Barn Fire
(01 Sep 1974)
Transcriber: Stan
Surnames: Busse
----Source: Tribune/Phonograph (Abbotsford, Clark Co., Wis.) 05 Sep 1974
Combustion in the straw barn is believed to have started a Sunday night blaze
which destroyed a 120 by 50 foot barn on the Marvin Busse farm north of
Abbotsford. Mrs. Busse called the Dorchester Fire Department about 7:30 p.m.,
and both it and the Abbotsford Fire Department were on hand to fight the blaze.
The Busse family was milking at the time and all dairy cows and young stock were
saved from the fire.
The milk house and all the milking equipment were also saved, but the barn, hay
and straw was lost. It’s not known at this time how much damage was done to the
two adjoining silos.
Mrs. Busse said the building was partially covered by insurance and plans for
rebuilding are indefinite at this time.
