MILL BURNS
Late in May, 1930, flames de-
stroyed H. F. Smith's flour mill in
Wroxeter. - Only a very little of the
stock of flour or feed was saved.
Loss was estimated at over $20,000.
The fire was believed to be caused
by a, nail going through the chop-
per. It was felt that, in addition to
dealing a heavy loss to Mr. Smith,
the village would also be at a loss
as the mill would not likely be re-
built.
Mrs: Rintoul served refreshments
and Mrs. Ross .gave courtesy
remarks. The April meeting will be
held at the home of, Mrs. Kathleen
Elliott.
