I the fall of 1899 the frame house on the Spencer Ranch burned n down. Parley wrote about Sarah and the boys working "down over a little hill digging potatoes." When they noticed the fire, the smoke was billowing up and the house was already nearly gone. He wrote: 1 ran as fast as 1 could and Broughton got on a horse. The neighbors came to help. The floods had come and washed out the ditch so there wasn't any water to help put out the fire. Just prior to this fire, we had gone to Casas Grandes and Dublan and bought some wheat and had it ground so we had a year's supply of flour. It was stored in a little bedroom. The first thing 1thought of was to take an axe and knock out the window to get the flour out because there was n a ton of it in there. 1jumped i and rolled out the flour and others on the outside kept taking it away so it wouldn't get bumed." Heaton, who was only eleven years old, related that when they got to the house, Sarah was throwing things out of the windows--"she was as strong as a man and could do the work of a man." She had gotten most of their belongings out of the house, and when the neighbors got there they helped in clearing everything away from the fire. They were able to get everything out except one bedstead and some supplies in the pantry Parley wrote: "1 think if the water had been in the ditch and we hadn't gone through the windows we would have lost everything we had." Heaton ran in the kitchen and saved a squash pie which came in handy that night for supper. Parley wrote: After the house burned down we built a little shed on our cheese house, it was fortunate it hadn't burned
