Frost & Cook Store C. B. Hanyen Store 1889 1899 Rutland / Roseville Business Directory Filling Station at Lawrence Corners Creamery Station

Troy, Pa., Nov. 9 - Fire Sunday destroyed the large general store owned by Fred White.  White’s home, some adjoining sheds and a barn at Roseville, with a loss of approximately $25,000.  Fire companies were summoned from Mansfield and Columbia Cross Roads to fight the flames.
Roseville is a small town just across the Bradford County line from Columbia cross Roads into Tioga County.  White’s store carried a large stock of many kinds of merchandise, the building having a 40-foot front and being 60 feet in depth. 
On the second floor Mr. and Mrs. White made their home.  Their household furnishings went up in smoke along with the contents of the store.
The only explanation Mr. White can find for the fire is that it must have started from an electric lightening plant he had in the store.  The flames are said to have started in that section of the building.  The fire was at first noticed about 8:30 o’clock.
For a time it was feared that Roseville church and some of the houses might burn but they were saved by firemen.
