MEMORIES OF DUNGANNON FIRE • APRIL 1.1937 On April 1st, 1937 a disastrous fire almost wiped out the west side of the main street of Dungannon. The fire started in the evening in' a general store owned by Montgomerys where A. J. Sherwood's store and Post Office building now is. It spread to buildings on both sides before the Fire Department from Kincardine reached the scene. When called, they first thought it was an April Fool's joke but when Mr. Heber Eedy convinced them it was no hoax they came as quickly as possible. Goderich Fire Dept. could not come because of some disagreement with the insurance company. Montgomery's store and residence, Lorne McKenzie's garage and McKenzie's Hardware and dwelling and Tom and Mary Rivett's Restaurant and home were destroyed but the firemen stopped . the flames from consuming the central office which was where Russell Johnstons live now. Lorne McKenzie had been to Toronto. that day and still was not home but some of the villagers managed to save some new cars he had just recently got in. The irony was that the new cars were still covered by company in- surance but the remainder of the contents of the garage which was burned was not insured, People helped carr things out of the store, an some bags of sugar mysteriously disappeared. There was a dance at the Anglican Parish Hall that night so after the fire - was under control the firefighters went to the hall and were refreshed with coffee and sandwiches. In spite of the fact that so much was going on in the village and most of the surrounding rural area was alerted by the party line system, there were " some villagers who slept through it all. Miss Nettie Sproul, who lived behind the United Church where MacAulays live now, was a clerk in Montgomery's store and knew nothing about the fire till she came to work - what a shock. DUNGANNON UNITED CHURCH The "Daffodil Sunday" bulletin was donated by the local branch of the Cancer Society to publicize the fact that this is "Cancer Month" and a canvass is anticipated. Rev. C. G. Westhaver spoke on "Your Religion and Your Health". The children's story was "The Frog . and the ' Grubworm". The choir sang the anthem "Alleluia" led by ' Shelley Rivett at the organ. . DUNGANNON CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH Pastor Lawrence took his message from John 21. Jesus taught his disciples about many things, including obedience, between the resurrection and the ascension. • The next meeting of the ladies' Bible Study group will be at the home of Sherry Strong; this is called a Friendship.
