Fire officials say the blaze broke out around 11 a.m. at the Blood Road home of 67-year-old Timothy M. Farren.
At 12:34 p.m., Forest County Coroner Norman J. Wimer arrived on scene and pronounced 66-year-old Madeline M. Farren dead.
The two-story structure was home to 9 individuals ranging from 2 years old to 67 years old.
“Everything they owned was in that house, and it’s a total loss.” said Wimer. “But to also lose their wife, mother, grandmother, is just unthinkable. My heart goes out to the family.”
The cause of the fire remains investigation; however, police say there are no suspicious circumstances. The home was a total loss with damage estimated at over $300,000.00. The family did not have insurance.
