Arson Devastates Three Delaware Churches
12-31-1969
Authorities are investigating a string of arsons at three Delaware churches this week. All of the blazes were started in the Felton area Tuesday morning.
The first fire happened just before 2 a.m. at the Healing Hands Christian Church, which was completely destroyed.
As crews were battling that blaze, another fire was reported at the Manship Chapel.
The last fire came at 5:30 a.m. at the Laws Mennonite Church.
The damage to all three churches is estimated at $86,000. No one was injured.
Healing Hands Pastor Wilber Moorer says he will rebuild.
