The Huntsville Weekly Democrat April 5, 1882
Fire at Athens
-----------------
  Last Tuesday morning, at about 2 o’clock, a fire broke out in the North side 
of the Public Square in Athens, Ala., destroying the following property: Four 
store houses of Robert B. Mason, $12,700, no insurance; law office of Robert 
B. Mason, insured for $1500; dry goods house of D. Hayman & Co., (where the 
fire began), $2,000, insured; store house of J. P. Coman, $1,000, no 
insurance; drug store of Coman & Davis, $4,500, insurance $2,000; store house 
of Mrs. C. W. Donnell, $12,000, no insurance; house and stock of marble work 
of A. A. & J. G. Baker, of Hunssville, $2,500; J. J. Turrentine’s law office, 
$653, no insurance; store and auction stock of “Boss” Woods, $2,000, insurance 
$500. 
  The above facts we get from a letter from Athens.  A. A. Baker and John G. 
Baker are citizens of Huntsville, and Waiter F. Davis, of the drug firm of 
Coman & Davis, was, formerly, of Huntsville.  The town and the individual 
sufferers have our deep sympathy in their losses.
