Fire consumes old church in Lone Rock

A couple is without a home as an historical building in Lone Rock is no more.

Wilton Fire crews were called out on Monday May 3 at about 10 am, as flames were seen coming from the old Lone Rock United Church.

Lloyd Ludwig had purchased the place of worship and was using it as a dwelling. The last religious service in the building was held around 2017 or 2018. Ludwig was at home with his dog. His wife was not at home at the time of the fire.

Ludwig is reportedly very distraught at this time. Fire crews have not indicated the cause of the blaze and were still working at the scene into the afternoon.

Lone Rock residents will be starting a Go Fund Me page to assist the Ludwigs.

_________

Correction: Lloyd Ludwig and his wife lived at the property. His wife was not at home when the fire broke out.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
