Fellows and X. of P. lodges. Old re-
cords bearing the impress of the work
of these orders and having to do with
their members who have long since
been gathered to their fathers ere
irretrievably lost. Pictures and articles
with histories and heart interest en-
twined with the lives of these departed
Knights and Patriarchs, and treasured
carefully by their present day success
ors, have passed to the limbo of the
things that have been. Only a few
days before the fire Mr.. J. w. Howse
of the Odd Fellow lodge had occasion,
at the request of his descendants 10 q
distant state, to trace the movements
of member of the order who lived
here in 40's who were furnished
valuable information which would have
been unobtainable had their request
been delayed until after the confagra-
tion. The Local w. o. W. also suiIer-
ed considerable uninsured loss.
This is the first serious conhagration
in the business section Of Somerville in
more than thirty years-in fact the
most serious fire within the memory
of some of our oldest citizens. That
the damage was not more far-reaching
is remarkable considering the fact that
the town has no organized fire fighting
force of any description. During the
time when the fire was raging it was
freely predicted by spectators that the
entire west side of the square faced
destruction, and valuable books and re-
cords were removed from most of the
business houses in the threatened area,
owners standing ready to remove every
thing movable should the blaze make
progress In their direction.
Too much praise cannot be accorded
the men and boys who, with an entire
disregard of personal danger, carried
the fire hose to apparently inaccessible
places, and fought the destroying ele-
ment with the equipment at hand to
the best of their ability. A number of
these sustained minor injuries, some
were overcome by smoke. heat and
exhaustion and many narrow escapes
from serious injury are reported. 1t
is considered remarkable that an un-
trained force without aEperson in
authority to direct them were able to
confine the flames within the damaged
area, and property owners are not
backward in expressing their gratitude.
The business concerns who were
affected have secured temporary
quarters elsewhere, ]. H. Webb being

west side of the square occupied by the
grocery and market of Bloom & Kim
brough, and before it could be checked

had spread to the building adjoining on
the north occupied jointly by ]. H. Webb
and Mrs. Della Ivy Kornik and to the
building in the rear, formerly occupied
on the lower floor by b. R. Scruggs'
law office, the upper floor being occu-
pied at the time Of the fire by the dem
tai office of DR.. w. D. Reid and the
apartment of Ed Applebury. All of the
buildings were very seriously damaged,
probably to a greater extent than has
as yet been ascertained. All of the
walls of the buildings are intact, but
some of them are showing cracks and
fissures.
| The losses are approximately as fol-
lows: Bloom & Kimbrough, stock OF
groceries and fixtures valued at about
$1,000, badly damaged by both fire and
water, insurance $500; the building
owned by J. d. Foster valued at 81 500,
insurance $1,000; stock of notions and
dry goods of ]. H. Webb valued at in
the neighborhood Of $1,000, removed
entirely from the burning building but
damaged seriously in the removal, loss
covered by insurance; the millinery anC
ladies' wear stock of Mrs. Della Ivy
Kornik also removed and damaged, loss
covered by insurance, the dental office
equipment of w. D, Reid, total loss
without insurance, except the operating
chair which was removed, and the fur
niture, etc.. in the living quaters Of
Ed Appleberry, also without insurance
the regalia, and other paraphernalis Of
the Odd Fellows lodge valued at ovel
$400, no insurance, and the property
and records Of Bedford Forrest Lodge
X. of P. insured for $500 90 but valued
at considerably more than that figure

fire falls on w. E. Narremore whC

building fronting on market street, ant
who carried no insurance. A part Of

siderably damaged and the building
owned by the E. R. Scruggs estate
suffered slight damage when the fire
fighters passed thru the same to gair
an advantageous position for fighting
