Description: Sacred Heart Church destroyed by fire! Fire destroyed the church quickly Saturday night. The cause of the fire has not been determined, but the state fire marshall was on the scene Tuesday examining the rubble in an effort to determine what caused the fire. Both the church and rectory were totally destroyed. The smoke kept rising from the ruins which kept Calumet Township there off and on for three days. [Image of the Catholic church fire in progress.]
