2000 Chickens Burned In Fire

On March 28, 1934 at 10:30 p.m. firemen were sent to Lurgan Township for a structure fire. A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a brooder house and its contents including 2,000 chicks. By the time firemen arrived there was little they could do to save the building or contents. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose Company battled the blaze.

Did they have Frank's Hot sauce back than? That would be one big bucket of wings.
