A fire destroyed the store and feed mill next to the Baptist Church in East Smithfield.  They re-built everything, and used the bricks that were salvageable  from the old church in the new church. This postcard from Baptist minister, Orey Crippen, who was then at East Smithfield, to his brother, Eugene, gives us the date that the walls fell - April 1912.
