McLeod Mill Burns Causing Large Loss
A fire destroyed the McLeod Milling Co building on the night of February 1 1918 causing about sixty thousand dollars in damage. The blaze started on the second floor near the main office as workers nearby reported a smoke odor. Firefighters saved limited areas and the building did not collapse completely, though the upper floors were damaged and a shift of offices occurred to O W Hooker Sons. Local residents and church groups provided food and aid to workers and residents. The mill’s owners and officers, including R L Brown and J H Brooks, discussed rebuilding with plans to restore operations at a temporary site.
