Fire destroys most of Ford town leaving $50,000 loss
A early morning blaze wiped out fourteen buildings east of the L N railroad in Ford. The fire started in barber Henry Jett’s shop near the Ford Lumber Co bricks and spread through homes and businesses including the lumber company, hotel, store rooms, and nine Anse Warner residences. With little insurance and no fire protection, flames raged for hours as townsfolk watched from Winchester twelve miles away. Origin of the fire remains unknown.
