News taken from 1908 Sebeka Review and The Menahga Journal newspapers
THE MENAHGA JOURNAL
April 24, 1908PELHAM HOUSE SCORCHED
Roof of the Henry Pelham Residence Badly Burned
Fire Caused by Defective Flue – Timely Discovery The fire department was called out last Saturday noon for a fire which was discovered in the Henry Pelham residence, which is occupied by Grant Knisley and family. Mrs. Knisley had gone out into the yard to put out some sparks which were catching fire in the dry grass, as the the wind was blowing she supposed they were coming from the chimney. Mr. Knisley investigated where the sparks were coming from and discovered the roof around the chimney to be afire and gave the alarm. The dry shingles and strong wind made it favorable for a serious fire. The blaze swept over the roof and into some jack pine needles which had lodged on the porch roof and by the time the department arrived the blaze had got a good start. The firemen responded in their usual promptness and their work was particularly effective in this instance. Everything in the house was moved into the street and the only damage sustained by the Knisley family was the tearing of carpets in removing them. The loss to the building was covered by insurance. FOREST FIRES NUMEROUS
Forest Fires Burning in Every Direction. Loss Large
Many Farmers Burned Out, Several Towns Were in Danger
The worse forest fire that has swept the northern part of the state since the Hinckley fire has been raging in these parts the past week. The dry condition of the woods from the snow leaving early and no rain has made them inflamable and the high winds made the fires particularly dangerous. The village escaped all danger of fire coming into the village, but the country in all directions was visited by the fire fiend. West of Menahga a number of farmers lost heavily by cordwood, hay and standing timber. Over east the farmers fought fire for several days. W.A. Christie was entirely burned out. C.L. Hill lost his house and barn, Russ Carney lost a barn, Fred Kerney´s house in Shell River was destroyed, Geo. Munson lost a lot of wood and others lost hay, wood, etc. A spark from a railroad engine set fire to the lath piles at Latona yesterday and quite a number were burned before the fire was stopped. Akeley was almost surrounded by fire the first of the week, on Tuesday the logging train pulled into the town with two cars of logs afire and only by hard work was the blaze kept from spreading thru the town. The rain of last night and today has practically put out all the fires. The loss caused by the fire will reach many thousands of dollars.

One Hundred Years Ago continues
THE SEBEKA REVIEW
April 24, 1908
FIRES IN THIS VICINITY CAUSED MUCH DAMAGE
Forest and Meadow Fires the Past Week Caused Several Losses Around Town
This neighborhood suffered quite heavily the past week from forest and meadow fires and only a good rain will prevent it from spreading still more. Everything is so dry that the fire gains such headway that nothing can stop it. Saturday was the worst day for fires and nearly every man and boy in the village were out helping the farmers fight fire to save their homes.
Peter Nehl of Meadow nearly lost his saw mill Saturday by a large fire which swept through that neighborhood. They telephoned to this place for help and a large party of men hurried out, and after several hours of hard work they succeeded in getting the fire under control, thereby saving the farm buildings, saw mill and lumber. In talking with the editor Mr. Nehl said, "State in the Review´s next issue that I am very grateful to our neighbors the Sebeka parties who saved our home and other property from burning. We certainly appreciate their timely help."
Peter VanHouse had a very close call from being burned out Saturday. He and his family had a hard time to save the buildings. The fire burned as close to his place as the barn yard and he considers himself lucky in saving the buildings.
S. Stanger lost some hay and several cords of wood on his farm.
The buildings on the Henry Herlofsen and Konkler farms burned Saturday.
F.C. Lovell, who lives south of town, lost his barn Saturday afternoon by a fire which started in the western part of Rockwood. They sent in a call for help and a large number of men drove out to help save the rest of his buildings. A backfire was set and by some work his house and other property was saved. He carried no insurance on the barn. Mr. Lovell states, "I wish to thank through the Review, those who helped me save my home from burning. I would have lost all my farm buildings but for their prompt help and I feel very grateful toward them."
The Daly farm building would have burned but for the assistance of the section crew and others from this place.
Charley Sharratt lost several tons of hay and others who had hay on the meadows lost considerable. J.H. Barbour, John Hansen, J.J. Sharratt and others had hard times to save their buildings. Old man Ostrum, the coal burner, set some backfires which were the causes of some bad fires. A complaint was made against him the first of the week and he was taken before Judge A.M. Hansen and was given a good lecture and he promised not to set any more fires.
Wednesday afternoon the freight engine set a fire along the track north of town and Martin Johnson and George Breckenridge nearly lost their farm buildings. Several from here went out to help them fight the fire back.
