Major Disaster Narrowly Averted
as Fire Levels 75 Year Old Former Knitting Mill Friday, Oct.
1, 1943
30 Burned, None Badly; Invalid Saved
Fireman aided by War Council Auxiliary Fireman and volunteers averted
a major disaster Thursday afternoon when fire leveled the 75-year-old former
Campbell Knitting Mill on the bank of Newtown Creek north of East Ave.
and burned the roods and siding of more than a score of homes.
For a time, the entire area was threatened with destruction as flames
swept a hundred or more feet into the air and a dense blanket of embers
was spread for blocks around by a southeast breeze.
An aged invalid woman was rescued from her home and more than 30 persons,
most of them firemen, suffered face and body burns. Fire Chief Louis J.
Mosher said the fire was the "hardest fire to fight since the Kobacker
warehouse fire in 1929. That blaze was in a building at the south end of
Madison Ave. Bridge.
The mill site is bordered by Newtown Creek on the east, East Ave. on
the south, Clark St., which runs parallel with Sullivan St., on the west
and E. Fifth St. on the north.
The fire is said to have originated in a smaller building about 35 feet
away from the old mill - long a landmark and frequently termed a fire hazard
by former Chief Daniel P. Collins and Chief Mosher. Several past fires
in the mill were extinguished with the aid of a sprinkler system not in
service recently.
The mill has not been used for manufacturing for almost 17 years and
business men have used the building for storage space. Altogether they
suffered a loss of approximately $10,000 individual losses running between
$1,500 and $3,500.
Chief Mosher, still was investigating in an attempt to determine the
origin and cause of the fire late this afternoon.
BURNING EMBERS some
larger than bricks, threatened devastation to a large area about the fiercely
burning former Campbell mill. Upper photo, taken at the intersection of
Sullivan and East Fifth Street was made as flames reached full height on
the north end of the structure where the autos were stored. Firemen are
playing a hydrant stream on one of the frame buildings in the block which
has ignited from the wind-driven embers. Roof of the center house is smoking.
White area resembling a smoke screen in lower photo is a grass fire ignited
on Sullivan St., a block away. The blaze under control with only the brick
walls of the former engine house left standing, is shown from the north
end in center photo.
Weary, Burned Firemen Called
by Phony Alarm
Elmira firemen were exhausted hungry and many were suffering from burns
Thursday evening. They had just done a great job of the property-saving
in the vicinity of the Campbell Knitting Mill fire. It had been their busiest
afternoon in 15 years.
An alarm sounded. Hoffman St. and Roe Ave. They sprang into action.
An Elmira Heights fire company, summoned during the emergency to protect
local fire districts, joined them. Skip the supper. Skip the band ages.
We have another job to do they thought. But there was no fire. The alarm
was false. It wasn't funny.

DOUBLE IDENTITY - Twin Brothers
Floyd, left and Lloyd BAILEY, 70, of Troy, PA, have never been
parted for long. The brothers, now retired, hold their World War 1 medals.
TWIN BROTHERS NEVER APART
Troy, PA - Through their 70 years, identical twins, Floyd and Lloyd
Bailey never have been separated for any length of time - in school, war,
employment or sickness.
"We came into this world together and we should stay together," the
brothers agreed. "We don't want to be separated and never will."
Now retired, the two keep house together in a two-story dwelling near
downtown, Troy.
Both are bachelors. Why? They just haven't found the right girls to
marry, they said with twin chuckles.
Floyd was born 10 minutes before Lloyd in a farmhouse near Towanda,
on July 24, 1891.
They look alike. They dress alike. They seem to have the same amiable
disposition. Often, they admit, they think alike.
The brothers enlisted together in World War 1 and served in a five-man
mortar unit in France. They literally fought shoulder-to-shoulder. On roll
calls, one was Bailey No. 1 and the other Bailey No. 2.
One night they were on guard duty at different posts. An officer, who
had just talked to Floyd, encountered Lloyd a few minutes later. Lloyd
heard a few angry words about leaving his post without authority.
The twins later worked on road construction. They insisted on working
together. If an employer wanted to hire one, he had to hire the other.
Last January, Floyd became ill and entered Troy Community Hospital.
Several days later, Lloyd became ill and joined his brother. They occupied
the same room and were treated by the same doctor.
There is one difference. Lloyd drives their automobile. Floyd doesn't.
But he explains that they both can't drive at the same time anyway.
Among their brothers and sisters is Mrs. Agnes Clark of Greene RD 1
whom they visit frequently.
Birth: To Mr. and Mrs. Fred Balmer
of Southport, October 7, at St. Joseph's hospital, a daughter, Margaret
Lillian.

W. A. Eaton Hit by
Auto; Fatally Hurt- Pine City Man Dies after Being Struck by Car Driven
by John R. Plate- Victim Struck in Front of Own Home- To Hold Inquest.
Struck by an automobile as he was turning into his home with his arms full
of groceries, William A. Eaton, 51, of Pine City was killed instantly about
5:40 p.m. Saturday. John R. Plate, (illegible) of Pine City R. D. 3, driver
of the car which killed Mr. Eaton, told county police he was driving north
on the Elmira-Pine City highway, in Pine City, when the accident occurred.
( A picture of William A. Eaton) Another automobile proceeding south skidded
on the slippery road, swerved toward his car and forced him toward the
ditch on the west side of the Highway, Plate said. He declared he did not
see the victim until the right front fender lifted him from the ground.
Mr. Eaton was then thrown toward the top of the Plate car, his head striking
the body of the machine on the right side of the windshield. He then fell
to the ground and was dragged about 10 feet. He had been walking in the
same direction as the car was traveling and was about to turn into the
yard of his home when struck. John Plate and his brother, Fred, who was
riding with him, carried Eaton's body into his home, where Mrs. Eaton was
watching for her husband and waiting for the groceries. Mr. Plate said
he was driving about 30 miles an hour and stopped his car within 40 feet
of the spot where he hit Mr. Eaton. County police reported they had examined
the automobile and found that the brakes and lighting system were in good
condition. To Hold Inquest County Cororner Charles S. Dale, who was called
on the case by county police, said the man had died instantly of a fractured
skull. He will hold an inquest at a date to be announced later. Deputies
Sheriff Grant Thorn and Truman Burnham investigated.

PASSES AWAY AT BIG FLATS- Death comes Unexpectedly Early Today in Nearby
Village- Had been ill For an Extended Period. Mrs. George M. Wells, died

aged sixty-five years. Mrs. Wells had been ill for an extended period.
She was highly respected and very well known in Elmira and Chemung county.

J. M. Hammond of Flint, Mich.; three sons, M.H. Wells of Big Flats; George
Edward Wells of Riverside, Calif.; J. Sloat Wells of Big Flats; two brothers,

written by her devoted sister, Mrs. J. Sloat Fasset of Strathmont to whom
blood relationship cound not have made Mrs. Wells more Beloved: "Mary Louise
Fassett Wells passed quietly out of life this morning. She was born in
Elmira, educated in the public schools and at Elmira College. Soon after
her marriage she removed to the farm at Big Flats where she had lived for
44 years. Full of Enthusiasm and cheer of life, a true Christian who endeavored
with all her will to live her faith and beliefs, the light of her life
will shine a steady beacon to those who knew her and loved her. Never afraid
to express her opinions, honest, true in her friendships one could depend
on her in all emergencies, could rely on getting the best she had to give.
In her family she was unselfish, loving and devoted." "It is hard to think
of life without her never failing sympathy and interest in what interested
others. She often deplored her delicate physique that prevented her taking
a more active part in local affairs. Her activities were necessarily confined
to her church, her Sunday school class and her missionary society." " She
left us as she wished to go and we are glad it was so. We can imagine her
glorified entrance into the world beyond greeted joyfully by the loved
ones gone before." " This inadequate tribute is from one who went often
to her for counsel and sympathy and it never failed." Jennie C. Fassett

Babies By Guy E. McMinimy
You can raise a crop of babies on almost any land; In fact, you need
a little grit and just a little sand, And lots of love and laughter to
make them grow up strong -- Yet folks with lots of babies seem somehow
to get along.
I don't say they're as useful quite as calves and pigs and such, But
they're a grand crop in themselves and worth ten times as much; So don't
forget the babies when you're plannin' for your farm, A few about you-underfoot
won't do a bit of harm.
And when your hair is growin' gray and years are growin' long, Your
heart instead of dryin' up will hold a merry song; For babies have a way
with them of growin' strong and tall, And make such-dandy leanin' posts
when life's summer turns to fall.
