Fire destroyed a rural home east of Burlington Junction Wednesday evening. The home’s resident, Ronald Marriott, discovered the fire as he returned home from work at about 5:30 p.m. No one was in the home at the time the blaze was discovered and reported. Fire-fighting units from West Nodaway and Clearmont responded to the fire call and Nodaway County ambulance had a unit standing by, as well. By the time units arrived on the scene, the home, located at 23967
170th Street, was completely engulfed in flames and the roof had collapsed. “By the time we arrived, about all we could do was contain the fire within the area of the house,” West Nodaway firefighter/first responder Herb Snodderly said. “There was no chance to save the house or contents.” Units stayed on the scene for about three hours. While the cause of the blaze is yet to be determined, Snodderly said that when Marriott arrived at the house, the fire seemed to be burning hottest in the area where a propane heater was located inside.

Committed quilters
Seven women come every Thursday afternoon to Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church in Maryville to make quilts, including (From left) Pam Myers, Phyllis Abbott, Marcia Droegemueller and Pat Bobzien. Here, the ladies present one of the quilts they worked on for the Lutherans Women’s Missionary Group. Total, they have made 28 quilts, mainly out of scraps. Because they made them out of scraps, there was no out of pocket cost from anyone to make the quilts. They will send the quilts to Lutheran World Relief, a group that sends aid to those around the world that are in need. SUBMITTED PHOTO
