| 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." |
