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.
