A Memorable Day For Fires.
Mr. T. D. Faulkner, the well
known undertaker and one of
the town's oldest residents, is
possessor of an excellent memory
and is therefore an interesting
talker upon things of the past.
On last Monday Mr. Faulkner
paid The Times office a pleasant
call and in course of a conversation
informed the reporter that
it had been just 53 years ago
from that date, or March 9, 1855,
that almost the entire wooded
lanu ana straw fields of this section
were swept by lire. Mr.
Faulker was living near Catawba
river, north of Fort Mill, and
stated that the wind gained such
a high velocity that he was compelled
to unhitch his mule from
the plow and go home as it was
impossible to keep the animal in
the furrows. As another instance
of the high velocity of the
wind, the fire was carried across
the river, igniting new fields and
continuing its work of destruction.
This section of the State
was then under the fence law,
and many miles of the then
popular rail fences were destroyed
by fire on that date.
In this connection it may be
stated that Mr. Faulkner has
been a resident of Fort Mill for
50 years, havirg moved here
March 1st, 1858. He says that
there are none here now who
were living here at that time.
