Oldest Fireman Writes of early
Fire Brigade
| The veners BILE Mr.. Benjsmin F

to The banquet of the Lexington
hremtn held Monday night. wrote
the following interesting letter Ia
the committe composed of Messrs,
G. A. Rhodes, "A. B. Beckwith
and II. G. Bowyer:
"Only al insuperable physical
debility enforces my absence from
this elegant manifestation OF
kindly regard.
Lexington had in early times
lite baptism Of fire, about the be-
ginning of the last century. Thus
early they learned the necessity OF
combination against the march Of
fire. The fire brigade was organ
lied and the line was formed from
the only source of watr (back
spring and the pump to the place
Of burning. A nun Der of leather
buckets and others supplied by
the citizens were passed up slorg
the line filed with water, and sent
down empty to be refilled.
"The town about the decade of
the forties bought l6.man power
engine which would throw water
over a two story house. Ii was
drawn by the people. About that
time a company was organized, of
which / became mem Der, and
among your papers you will find
the names Of others. At that
time there were not more than
1000 people in the town, and of
course the liability to be called out
for duty was very limited, from
the snail nun Ter of houses In the
town.
"Sueb was the incipiency Of

which you respond 70 the call Of
