About 4 Oc I awoke
by the sound of the fire & church bells there was a fine frame building
burnt down the blaze looked nice but it was a source of grief to me at 1 Oc
P.M. I was in the city getting 2 sick men of our company that were in the
hospitals to sign the pay roll & the alarm of fire was given I assisted in
running the Ingine to the fire but little dammage done I put in most of this
day getting the men to sign the pay rolls 8 in number
