Atlanta Residents Rally To Aid Fire Sufferers
A large sum was raised by generous Atlantans after a devastating Ware Furniture Company fire. Subscriptions to the fund for fire sufferers were received by The Constitution and the Atlanta Charitable Association. Notable donors include W. A. Hemphill, Neal Loan and Banking Co, Eiseman & Weil, Beck-Gregg Hardware Co, O. H. Jones, Fred Bush, J. W. Roberts, and Dr. Amos Fox. The relief effort quickly expanded with homes donated and temporary shelter arranged for the homeless, led by Hemphill as treasurer and a volunteers committee that visited fire-affected families to assist. The fund, already totaling over $71, with more expected, aims to place victims beyond need.
