Fire struck the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Noone, four miles west of Pilsen, about 1:30 Wednesday afternoon. And it destroyed everything. The Noones and their 10 children not only lost their home but all its contents including clothing and personal belongings. The children range in age from kindergarten to senior in high school.
