HILLSVILLE — Investigators continue to look into the cause of a fire that destroyed a home at 286 Bakers Mine Road last Tuesday.
Carroll deputy Barry Lineberry worked with Virginia State Police to investigate a blaze that firefighters found suspicious.
As of last Thursday they had not determined a cause, but they found that the fire started in the corner of the house owned by Katherine Vickers, Lineberry said.
The investigation is being complicated by the major heat and damage caused by the fire.

Veterans honored
I’m calling to thank The Gazette for publishing photographs of Carroll County Confederate veterans of the War Between the States. Thank you for reminding us that April is Confederate History Month in this Commonwealth of Virginia.
Editor’s note: You’re welcome. Our “Civil War Profiles” feature has proven to be quite popular, thanks to our partnership with the Jeff Matthews Museum in Galax. We will continue to feature these photos, though not in every issue as we did during April.
