The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1911-03-10

Last Friday night between eleven
and twelve O'clock there occurred one
of the greatest fires that has been
known to be in a colored section of
this city for many years. At the time
stated many families living in the
twentieth block on Jefferson street
were aroused by an alarm made be-
cause of fire which, from all indica-
lions, seemed to have taken place in
the home of Mr.. Nathan Berry.
Mr. Berry is better known as the
manager of the IN. Berrys Creamery
When seen by Globe reporter he
stated that he and all of his family
were away in attendance at con-
cert given in the interest of his
church est. Paul., and with which
his wife was directly connected.
1t is reported that the fire started
in the Berry home and had gotten a
good Roadway before it was discov-
cred The next door neighbors were
aroused by the falling of popping
boards. Thinking that some one was
breaking into the house they were
shocked to know the destruction Of
their home was inevitable.
The house in which the fire was dis
covered was practically destroyed be-
fore the fire engine reached the scene.
There were two homes completely de-
stroyed and practically all of their
contents. Then there were also two
other homes of which possibly fifty
per cent was saved Two families,
that of Mr.. Ed. Church and M. John
Dungey, who We're living in the home
of Rev. Monroe Jackson, and being
some distance away from the base of
the flames were able to save all of
their belongings, while Mrs. Sarah
Short aud family lost home entirely
and practically all of their clothing.
Another to suffer greatly from the da-
mage was Mrs Pearl Smith and fam
lily, who lived just east of Mrs. Short.
Mr.. Berry stated to a Globe repre-
sentative that his loss was about So SO
OO0 He carried about $1,000 worth OF
insurance. 1t could not be learned as
to the exact amount upon the Other
property, but it is thought that il
was by no means sufficient to cover
loss.
The fire department is severely cri
ticised for their slowness in respond
ing after the alarm was turned in
1t is the concensus of opinion that
all except two buildings could have
been saved had the fire companies re
sponded promptly
