Book Saw Mill In Gunters Valley Destroyed By Fire

On August 14, 1930 just after midnight firemen were sent to the Book Saw Mill in Gunters Valley (near Roxbury) for a building fire. By the time the flames were noticed and the Cumberland Valley Hose Company was notified it was 4:30 a.m. The pumper arrived and placed the first stream of water on the blaze at 5:30 a.m. By 10 a.m. the blaze was extinguished and firemen left the scene. The sawmill and a large quantity of lumber was destroyed causing $10,000 in damages. A cause of the fire was not listed.
