records were reported lost.
The office was heated by a
coal ljurning stove. Mr. Yel
verton said that a defective flue
in the loft of the building might
have been responsible for start
ing the fire.
Mr. O.P.Johnson, retired su
perintendent, said that the fr
ame building was built in 1928
at a cost of between $600 and
$700. The original building was
30 X 100 feet. Several years
later the building was extended
an additional 40 feet.
The Kenansville Fire Depart
ment battled the blaze and were
aided in preventing the fire from
spreading by the Warsaw Fire
Department. The condition of
the antiquated building and the
nature of the contents made it
a losing battle from the be
ginning. The nearby Kenans
ville Elementary School seemed
threatened at one point when the
building turned into a flaming
inferno. As a precautionary
measure, firemen patroied the
roof of the school building.
One of the largest items lost
in the fire was an oil furnance
that was to have been installed
in the nearby Kenan Memorial
Auditorium. Plate glass val
ued at $200 had been placed in
the building only hours before
the fire.
Other items stored in the
building included 200 gallons
of paint, 100 cartons of paper
towels, 100 cartons of bathroom
tissue, plumbing and electrical
equipment, floor cleaners and
various chemicals.
Children from the Kenans
ville Elementary School watch
ed from a distance in a most
orderly manner. One youngster
said, ' Why couldn't it naveoeen
the school building"?
As the building fell in, the
Kenansville fire alarm sounded
again and two trucks rushed
from this fire to a trash fire
at the home of Mary Emma So
uther land in West Kenansville.
Minor damage was done to a
grapevine and trash barrel.
