MARSHALL SUFFERS
SEVERE FIRE Loss
Federated Church Completely
Destroyed by Fire Sunday.
Rebuilding Considered.

The city of Marshall suffered its
first great loss of the year by fire
when on Sunday morning. February
9th, the Federated church of that
city was completely destroyed by a
fire that threatened to wipe out sew
eral residential blocks. A fifty mile
gale carried blazing shingles several
blocks while the fire continued for
most of the day. The blaze was dis
covered at 9:3O a. m.
Continuing for approximately eight
hours the fire spread to the Metho-
dist church across the street and to
the roofs of several buildings near
by without extensive damage, al
though the Methodist church and a
garage, privately owned, were on fire
several times but the small blazes
were extinguished each time.
The church destroyed by fire was
first organized in 1872 with the first
building constructed in 1878. Two
years ago the Presbyterians and Con-
gregationalists of Marshall federated
into one church. The burned build
ing was constructed in 1902.
The loss not only consisted of the
building but all contents which con-
sisted of valuable pipe organ, two
pianos, silverware and dishes.
Leaders of the church met in Mar
shall Monday to consider plans for
new quarters following the disaster
