Union Recorder-Nov, 2, 1886-pg. 3 November 2, 1886
Mrs. Martha SMITH, a widow lady who lives in Hancock county, near the line of 
Baldwin, on the Oconee river, had her residence and all her out houses on the 
place, consisting of kitchen, cribs, stables, servants houses, &c., burned on 
Sunday evening, 24th inst. All of her corn and fodder, and that belonging to 
her son-in-law, Mr. Joe BRUNDAGE, who lived in the house with her, and to Mr. 
Allie SMITH, who farmed with her, were burned. The fire originated in an out 
house, in which the children had been playing, and in which was some bagging, 
but how it caught is unknonw. Being first to catch in an out house, the 
furniture, clothes, &c., in the dwelling were saved. This is a great misfortune 
to come upon this family, as the loss cannot be replaced by them.
