A Chelsea Church Burned
A Chelsea Church Burned.
Chelsea has had its share of fires. Sunday evening between 9 and 10 o'clock the Methodist church in that village was discovered to be on fire. The volunteer fire department promptly responded, and although they found one hydrant frozen, soon succeeded in pouring a great volume of water upon the fire. The basement was all ablaze and is ruined but the rest of the church was saved. The fire started from the furnace. The church carried an insurance of $4,000. The building in its present condition is hardly thought worthy of repairs and it is believed that it will be rebuilt next summer. It was one of the largest churches in Chelsea and was built in 1858-9.
