    • This fire, that destroyed about half of downtown Blandinsville, destroyed the Charles A. Fisher family home (Charles, wife and kids lived above the store) and their paint, paper and notions business. Financially, it must have been devastating for the young family - Charles and Clara were married only four years, daughter Reva was two and a half, and Clara was pregnant with daughter Mary Edith - having only $200 to $500 insurance (reports vary) on an estimated $2500 loss. Charles never rebuilt the business. Prior to 1902, it's easy to find newspaper ads for paper and notions from Fisher's store. After 1902 there are none. The 1910 census lists his occupation as house painter. Apparently, he did this and hung wallpaper for the rest of his life per his obit.
    • William Fisher's house, next in line along the street, caught fire several times but was saved.
    • Only a week after the fire there was a "project on foot to form stock company and build a brick block, containing business rooms and an opera house, on the ground swept by the tire."

    Blandinsvile downtown fire 1902
    About 11 e'clock last night a fire was discovered at Blandinsville which destroyed some $15.000 worth of property before it finally burned itself out. Four business houses were destroyed and only part of the contents saved. The fire was first discovered by Alva Bayless, who at once gave the alarm. When first seen the fire was about balf way between the floor and roof of the Beacon and Campbell buildings. It spread rapidly and was soon beyond control. The citizens then turned their attention to saving the contents of the buildings, but so rapidly did the flames spread that only part of the contents of some of the rooms could be saved. How the fire started no one knows, and no cause, save incendiary, can be as signed for it....The Fisher building was occupied by the Fisher novelty and wall paper store down stairs, and he lived in the upper story. Some of the stock was saved but only a small portion. All of his household goods were destroyed. The loss on the building is estimated at $1,200, and on the stock about $2.500 There was only $200 insurance on the stock and none on the building."

    This article gives a bit more details and notes that Blandinsville had no fire equipment. "C. A. Fisher lost a building, all of his household goods, and most of his stock of notions. The total loss was from $2.000 ta $2,500 with but $500 insurance....There ls no firefighting appliance in Blandinsville and water ie scarce there. The citizens who hastily assembled could do little, although they worked heroically removing goods from the buildings and carrying water from the few paces obtainable....Only 20 feet west is a dwelling house, owned and occupied by William Fisher. This caught on fire several times but was saved. With the scant means of
    fighting fire people are marveling that the building still stands."
