Mystery Fire Damages Carthage Presbyterian Church
A $30,000 Carthage Presbyterian church was burned Thursday afternoon near 4 o clock. The fire reduced the building to ashes while nearby homes of Edward Clark Sr. and James Thompson narrowly escaped. Firemen arrived quickly but could not save the structure which had stood 14 years since the previous church fire. Rumors swirled about the fire’s origin, with a bonfire in the yard cited as a probable cause. William D. Williams, a Texas railroad commissioner born in Mount Vernon Kentucky, died October 1 1916 in Austin. He once lived in Carthage and served in the Texas legislature, noted for reforms on invisible taxation. Numerous notices from Carthage Briefs cover local visitors and travels as residents move between cities for conventions and family visits.
