Mr. and' Mrs. Shanahan, who were married the .end of May, lost everything in the blaze, including wedding gifts that they had never used. Damage in the blaze was estimated at $50,000 with the loss partially covered by insurance. Mr. and Mrs. Shanahan plan to rebuild. Plans are being formulated to assist the young couple.
