FIRE IN CHURCH POINT
Crowley Signal February 17, 1922

Fire Thursday night totally destroyed the two-story residence of Arville Richard 
who lives three miles east of Church Point. All of the furniture and household 
goods on the first floor were saved, but that upstairs was an entire loss.  Two 
hundred gallons of syrup stored upstairs also were destroyed.

The fire thought to have been caused by sparks from the chimney falling on the 
roof. The loss is estimated $4,000, with no insurance.
