Description : Fire at Elison Milligan's mill.
Transcription : Haynes Items. Haynes, May 5 '91--The mill of Elison Milligan situated at McNallys Lake caught fire on Sunday morning about 3 o'clock. When the fire was discovered it was past saving. There were about 200,000 feet of lumber and about 200,000 shingles consumed by the fire and the machinery is a total wreck. It is reported that the engine house was the last to be consumed by the firey element and the question arises where and how did the fire originate?
