Six Escape From Flaming Home in Morning Blaze
A Hudson mother and her five childre, including a 4 months old child, narrowly escaped with their lives when they were forced to leave their flaming home early Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Herbert Stayberg and her five children, Jack, 17, Dale, 14, Marion, 16, Danny, 4, and Billy, 4 months, were forced to leave the burning home in their night clothes because of the rapid spread of the fire.
The fire was discovered shortly after 7 a.m. by Marion Stayberg when she was awakened by the crackling of the burning wood. She aroused the other members of the family and they fled to safety in the matter of mere seconds.
The small house, a combination trailer and clap board addition, located on 12th street, at the head of St. Croix street, was completely gutted by the conflagration. It is estimated that the total loss will be about $4,000.
Besides the interior of the house being a total loss, the family lost all of its wearing apparel and personal effects. Nothing was saved by the family except the clothes which they were wearing.
Because of the seriousness of the situation, the St. Croix County Chapter of the American Red Cross responded immediately and secured wearing apparel for the entire family. "I don't know what we'd have done without the Red Cross", Jack Stayberg said.
The Hudson Fire Department made a record-breaking run to the scene of the blaze, and quickly extinguished the fire, but only after it had done its disastrous damage.
The fire is thought to have started in the kitchen when a deep fat fryer which had been heating on the gas stove ignited and set the wall afire. The fryer had been used earlier in the morning by another member of the family in preparing breakfast.
Mr. Stayberg and his father-in-law, Miles Hughes, who makes his home with the family, had both gone to work when the fire broke out.
It is reported, that temporarily the family will take residence at the Carrol Cabins until other living quarters can be obtained.

Hudsonite Helps Father Out of Sinking Car
A Hudson man possibly saved his father's life in a boating incident Sunday at a Lake Mallalieu boat landing.
Herbert Stayberg, 69, 1221 St. Croix St., was backing his boat into Lake Mallalieu near the Dairy Mart and lost traction with the car descending into the lake. His son, William Stayberg, 28, 926 Fourth St., was able to get into the sinking car and pull his father out.
Herb Stayberg was backing his row boat into the lake at about 6 p.m. His brakes failed and the car went backward and started floating in the water. He tried to get out but couldn't get the doors open. He rolled down the window and water started filling the car.
His son, William, was on shore and he jumped in the water and got the door open. He helped his father to the back seat and then out of the car.
Bruce Nerby later pulled the car out of the water with his four wheel drive vehicle.
