(Photo by Paul Uttermohlen) Chimney could be culprit in fatal Bistline Road fire SHELBY Investigators probing the cause of a fire Thursday which killed 69-year-old Geneva Wallace have focused on a 45-year-old chimney, Fire Marshal James Houser said Saturday. Houser said the chimney was at least a "major contributing cause" if not "the cause" for the Thursday night fire at Mrs. Wallace's Bistline Road home. He said the fire was clearly accidental. Investigators have not ruled out the makeshift wood-burning stove which Mrs.

Wallace used to heat her home. But Houser said the chimney which was as old as the house was faulty and had not been maintained. The two-story house was engulfed in flames when Shelby firefighters arrived shortly after receiving a 10:30 p.m. call from Mrs. Wallace's neighbors.

Clarence Wallace, 46, who lived next door, suffered burns attempting to rescue his mother. He was discharged Saturday afternoon from Shelby Memorial Hospital. Bingo GROTTO HALL 747 South Main St. Mon. Tues.
