Ashland News May 3, 1878
The dwellings and their contents, of Mr. H. T. Mitchell, in the south-west 
portion of Randolph County, were destroyed by fire, on the morning of the 21st 
Inst. The fire was discovered about 1 o'clock, a.m.  Mr. Mitchell and his lady 
being absent, there was scarcely anything saved. Mr. Mitchell was attending the 
meeting of the Masaonic Fraternity at Lineville of which he is a worthy member.
The cause of the fire has not as yet been determined. About one hour prior to 
the discovery of the fire, J.-. Mitchell, son of H. T. Mitchell, came home and 
went to bed without kindling a light, and he says he saw no sign of fire about 
the buildings. This said occurrence has made a deep impression upon the 
community.
