Walnut Valley Times, Volume XXXIII #5 February 21, 1902
Abe Metheny's house in north El Dorado caught fire from a defective flue last 
evening about 7:30 and was totally destroyed. Nearly all the household goods 
were lost. It was insured. The house was a part of the old Valley House which 
was built in an early day when the Santa Fe first came into El Dorado. It was 
built at the same time as the depot. Hard luck and misfortune seems to follow 
Mr. Metheny. His friends who sympthize with hiim in his trouble should get 
together and give him some sustanital help. They would meet with no difficulty 
in finding people who will "loosen."
