A North Walpole furniture store burns to the ground
Fire officials are investigating the cause of 
an early morning fire that wiped out an 88-year-old family furniture business in North Walpole today.
Officials say the fire started in the back of Aumands & Sons Inc., a furniture store at 2 Church St. owned by Raymond J. and Ellen R. Aumand, and their children Christopher J. and Celeste A. Aumand.
Only a small part of the 20,000-square-foot showroom building still stands. This morning, firefighters continued to douse smoking piles of rubble where the building once stood.
A small red house next to the furniture store on West Street, owned by Mary Shaughnessy, was also damaged in the fire. An outside wall and part of the roof were blackened by the flames.
