The tale sits amid Fort Davis Study Club’s growing public library, now 47 volumes strong, funded by members and featuring titles from famous authors. A fire damaged the Fairchild residence in Fort Davis with no insurance, possibly from spontaneous combustion, while a birthday party celebrated two-year-old Clay Worth Brang.
