BROWN BROTHER’S FIRE

Pelham News

[People’s Press, 4 September 1900]

The frame blacksmith shop and carriage barn of Brown Bros. Company, nurserymen, at their nurseries near Ridgeville, was burned to the ground last Friday evening, together with a quantity of tools, etc. Cause of fire unknown. The building was a good frame one, and was particularly insured; the tools were also insured. Had the wind been in a different direction than it was, in all probability a valuable barn would also have been destroyed. The insurance was with the Waterloo.
