Shingle Mill Fire Destroys Mill and Stock
A shingle and planing mill burned last Thursday night with doors, windows, 8 to 10 cords of shingle bolts and 80 000 shingles lost. Mrs. M T Wright alerted firefighters as flames ate through the roof nearly a mile from the town’s center. Firefighters saved several hundred cords of cedar bolts and protected a nearby barn, with minimal wind aiding containment and avoiding broader damage.
