Flames Raze Home
On Old Stage Road
MEDFORD, Jan. 26 — Fire,
which started upstairs apparently
in a defective flue, Wednesday
destroyed the Dr. Robinson home
on the Old Stage road near Jack
sonville. The house was occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. Ryder and their
two children. The entire second
floor was burned away and the
lower floor gutted by the fire.
Only a few household items were
saved. The Ryders had lived in
the house only about two months.
The house was one of the land
marks of the Rogue river valley,
having been built before the turn
of the century.
