    1. Moark Depot fire
    2. The Barnes
    3. The Courier Newspaper Clay Co. Ark. April 23, 1910 Depot at Moark Destroyed. ========================= Fire destroyed the depot at Moark Monday morning at 4 o'clock, and it is thought the fire was started from a spark from a passing engine, as the roof was the first to catch fire. T. A. Casto is the railroad agent and also postmaster of the town, and the post office as in the depot. Most everything of value was removed from the building and saved. For a time it seemed that the stores opposite the depot, belonging to Avery & Strong and S. Greenwood would be destroyed, but by heroic work of the citizens they were saved. At present a box car will be used as a depot.
