Fire Kills 700 Chickens
On May 9, 1928 in the late morning hours, the cry of fire was heard in Jacksonville. A brooder coal stove started a fire that destroyed a brooder and chicken house, 700 chickens were killed in the fire. A small frame building was also destroyed and the side of the house was scorched. Citizens formed a bucket brigade and were able to save surrounding buildings. Damages were estimated at $1,000. The Cumberland Valley Hose Company answered the alarm.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
