- Newspaper Article - Thursday, June 20, 1889 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - Town Talk - The barns on the farm of Horace McNitt in the northwestern part of the town were discovered to be on fire last evening, shortly after 10 o’clock. They were entirely destroyed together with 150 bushels of oats, 12 tons of hay and many of the farming implements. There was an insurance of $150 each on the barns and something on the contents. The insurance was written in the Agricultural of Watertown, Smith & Potter, agents. The fire originated in a remote comer of the hay bam where none of the McNitt family had been in several days. Mr. Horace McNitt has been seriously ill for many weeks, and it is feared that the excitement caused by the fire may hasten his death.
