Sunday, April 8, Harold Henry’s vacant home in Gregory went up in flames. The Unadilla Fire Department was in the midst of a scheduled training exercise on Dexter Trail between Van Syckle and Dutton roads. The home was burned to the ground as part of the exercise.

World War II veteran Henry, known for The Prophet sign in front of his home and an American flag fluttering behind his pickup truck, passed away last year.
