ENCORE HEADLINES
25 YEARS AGO (1916)
A spectacular fire starting on the second floor of the H.J. Williams residence 
about 7 p.m. Saturday, burned this home, the Ellaville school building and the 
Williams and C.R. McCrory barns.  The blaze threatened that entire section of 
town and help was requested from the Americus fire department.  The truck from 
that city made the trip here in 24 minutes.  School re-opened the following 
Wednesday in Schley county courthouse, with long tables substituting for desks 
not saved from the flames.

Additional Comments:
The above article from The Ellaville Sun speaks of the fire that destroyed the 
Crisp Institute pictured here.  The school was built in 1897.  The fire 
occurred on Nov. 4, 1916.
