"Mrs T. C. Daniels, 29-year-old barber's wife, her dress aflame was killed almost instantly." Five other people were killed in the accident.
Downstairs was a drug store, upstairs was a beauty shop run by Helen Barr (the second Helen). Uncle Clifton was in his barber shop across the street. Fire Chief Lessinger said children playing with fireworks in the drug store touched off the sparks that was the cause the tragedy. There were fireworks in the display window which helped to make the fire move so fast.
The first Helen (Hallcroft) was a client of Helen Barr. The beauty shop operator Helen Barr jumped out of the window into the alley out back and broke both of her ankles, but survived. Later Uncle Clifton married the second Helen. "
