THREE DIE IN QUANTICO FIRE
Lieutenant Holderby of Marines, Daughter And Guest Are Victims
WASHINGTON, February 5, 1927 – Three persons lost their lives last night in a fire in a house at the Marine Barracks in Quantico, Virginia.
The dead are Lieutenant Andrew R. Holderby 3rd of the Marine Corps, in whose home the fire occurred; Miss Eleanor Griffin, a house guest, whose home is in Washington, and Clotilde Holderby, a 4-year-old daughter of Lieutenant Holderby.
Another house guest, Miss Carolyn Griffin, a sister of Eleanor Griffin, was badly injured and taken to the hospital at Quantico.
Lieuetnant Holderby’s wife and older daughter escaped without injury.
Lieuenant Holderby was a native of Richmond, Virginia. He served in the World War and with the Marine establishment in Haiti.
The cause of the fire has not been determined. Quick action by the Marine Corps Fire Detachment prevented it from spreading to near-by barracks. The flames were extinguished within ten minutes from the time the fire was discovered.
The Holderbys, with their guests, had attended a dance at the officers’ club in the evening and had retired but a few hours before the fire occurred.
