1915 FIRES IN BUSINESS SECTION
/THIRD FIRE IN THREE YEARS
For the third time in less than three years the business section of Marmora has suffered from fire. That all the stores on the east side of Forsythe Street were not wiped out is something to be thankful for. The fire apparently started in the stables or sheds back of the old Central Hotel. From there it quickly spread to Mrs. Sullivan's stable where F. N. Marett & Co. kept their horses, rigs and hearse, along with three horses and a cow which were burned to death. Several rigs were destroyed but the hearse was saved. The fire quickly spread to Dan Shannon's stable and store house, W D. Donnelly's barber shop and pool room and B. C. Hubbell's new brick block also caught fire but with the assistance of Deloro Fire Dept. equipment the building. was saved. The fire then swept south taking the livery stables, sheds, etc., owned by John Green, Connor & Gray tin shop, Chas. Clairmont's blackshop shop all being burned down. It is impossible to estimate the cost at this early date.
