Thought I'd toss this in, this event is well covered in Glasgow. The Lexington (KY) Herald, Jan 23, 1906, p. 3. "Fire Destroys Four Stores At Glasgow At Early Hour Yesterday. Glasgow, Ky., Jan 22. - Glasgow suffered a $100,000 fire this morning. Four buildings on South Green street were burned. The fire originated in the rear of E. A. HEISER's meat and grocery store, and was discovered shortly after 1 o'clock by C. L. WING, who had sleeping quarters in the building. The fire had gained such headway that it was impossible to save the building or any of its contents. The store of BRADFORD Bros., on the south side, and the Odd Fellow's buiding, on the north, occupied by GOAD Bros. as a grocery, then caught fire. As usual, water was scarce and the firemen were handicapped. "The losses are about as follows: E. A. HEISER, stock of goods and fixtures, $1,600; building owned by B. F. BRADFORD, $4,500; C. L. WING, household goods, $300; BRADFORD Bros., stock of goods and building, $50,000; GOAD Bros, stock of goods, $2,200; Masonic Hall, $14,000; Barren County Grocery and Hardward Company stock of goods, $15,000; building owned by J. P. DEPP, $8,500; the Witness, published by J. P. BROOKS [he was a Baptist minister], $700; law office of H. C. GORIN, library and furniture, $1,000. "The origin of the fire is unknown. Some think spontaneous combustion was the cause, but the majority are of the opinion that it was the work of an incendiary. HEISER, in whose store the blaze started, states there had been no fire there since Friday." There were other fires on South Green Street over the years.
