He was a veteran plasterer and bricklayer of this section, who joined the government labor force at Little Rock a month ago, going with one of the Ardmore crews. A disastrous fire Tuesday night destroyed the large hay and mule barn on West Eleventh Street owned by MANNING & WHITE. The barn was a large sheet iron building, completely enclosed and the entire interior area was ablaze before the fire was discovered. The immense amount of hay stored made a big blaze and threatened many adjoining buildings. The splendid residence of R. L. BUCHANAN, only a few feet away, could not be saved and it was only by heroic and effective fire fighting that the H. E. MALONE residence was saved. The R. L. BUCHANAN store and three story LEYDA & GOODE BUILDING were threatened but Sulphur's good water pressure and new fire fighting equipment enabled the fire crew to control the immense blaze. MRS. EUGENE LANGSTON and children of Ardmore are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. LIEBMAN. MRS. L. E. JOHNSEY of Miami is visiting her daughter, Mrs. W. D. BIGGERSTAFF and Mr.Biggerstaff. B. A. NELSON returned from Grant. MRS. H. G. BEAN had as dinner guests Tuesday evening in honor of ROY POOLE of Bryan, Texas, Mr. and Mrs. ROY POOLE, Mr. and Mrs. REX CHANEY, and MISS MAHOTA NICHOLS. MISS HAZEL PARKER is spending the week at her home in Stillwater. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Murray County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/murray/murray.htm
