New York, 1895
The Ketchaboneck house at Westhampton, one of the largest summer hotels at the beach was destroyed by fire at three o'clock Sunday morning. The family of Mr. Raynor barely escaped with their lives. Nothing was saved, not even sufficient clothing to keep them warm. The hotel could accommodate about 100 guests. The building and furniture were insured for $10,000.
