A large barn on the Harley Redick farm near Jenera was completely destroyed by fire of undetermined origin Tuesday night.
Lost in the fire were a team of horses, four head of young cattle, a manure spreader, cultipacker, corn shredder, and a quantity of hay.
The barn, located three-quarters of a mile north and a half mile west of Jenera, had been built four years ago after a fire had destroyed another barn on the Redick farm.
Mr. and Mrs. Redick were at the home of Mrs. Redick's father, Charles Hartman, who lives a quarter of a mile east of the Redicks, when the fire started. Between 8 and 8:15 p. m. they saw the barn in flames.
The fire had too great a start for any livestock or machinery to be removed from the building.
The Jenera volunteer fire department answered the call and was able to save a nearby shed. By 9:30 the barn was in smoldering ruins but the other buildings were out of danger.
The barn was at least partially covered by insurance.
