! Fire Wednesday morning destroyed
the Grace Methodist Episcopal church
structure, in ST. Johnsbury causing a
loss of $4,000. The fire apparently
started near the furnace. A good in
surance is carried through local agen-
cies, and it is thought that the edifice
will be rebuilt and in more ample size
than the old. It was only few years
ago that the church was partially
burned and rebuilt. Rev. George A.
Martin is the present pastor of the So
ciety. The fire was one of the most
spectacular in ST. Johnsbury for long
time, because of the nature of the con-
struction of the building with a large
OCli CuWGT. mere was grave dppTc-
, henson lest this tower should fall on
some of the neighboring buildings, and
the occupants of those structures were
ordered out until the tower collapsed
on itself after being partially burned.
Half an hour before the tower fell, the
supports of the bell were burned away,
and the bell fell with a great crash.
The parsonage building on the same
property was saved On nearby lots
were the new ST. Johnsbury house,
the Goss garage. the Colonial theatre
and business block cont aiming stores
and the office of the Western Union
Telegraph company. The church was
located on Central street.
