1858 Fire continued: that their presence in our midst is not very desirable. The house in which the fire originated, we are informed, has been found on fire several times within the past few months. Acknowledgments: We are under many obligations to Messrs. E. G. Waite, S. H. Chase, A. B. Paul, George Hurst, and a number of others, for their timely services, in assisting to remove the materials of our office at the time of the fire. But little hopes were at first entertained of saving the building, consequently every thing of value, except a press, was removed. We are also indebted to some forty or fifty other citizens, who worked for nearly an hour with unflagging energy to save the building.* Notwithstanding the almost super-human exertions that were used, the building would probably have been consumed, but for the coolness and courage of George Ferrend and George I. Lammon, who, when the heat was the most intense, and the danger imminent, carried water to the front, and extinguished the fire which had caught in the blankets that were hanging over the gable. About this time, the burning buildings on the opposite side of Broad Street fell in, and the critical time was over. Reference: DEM May 26, 1858 p2c2. * This building referred to was the DEMOCRAT BUILDING located at 43 Broad Street (Lot 3 Block 16) 18
