William Williams Fire
Montpelier Examiner, Friday, 5 October 1900, page 1
Last Friday night the residence of Wm Williams of Paris, caught
fire and was burned to the ground with all its contents. By hard work the
adjoining buildings were saved.
The good people of Paris immediately started a subscription for the unfortunates and in a couple of hours raised $500, all of which speaks well for the county seat inhabitants.
