| Miss Maudie Loses Home |
| A fire had started at Miss Maudie's and spread through the
town. There were fire trucks from 3 counties and everybody in town was helping
put the fire out. The men of Maycomb took furniture fromn Miss Maudie's
house to a yard across the street. It was a close call for Mr. Avery. Witnesess
said they saw Mr. Avery's face appear in an upstairs window and then pushed
a mattress out the window along with some furniture. Men could be heard
shouting to him "Come down from there, Dick! The stairs are going!
Get outta there, Mr. Avery!" He finally escaped through the window.
After it was over, Miss Maudie was not too sad about what happened. She
said, "Always wanted a smaller house...Gives me more yard. Just
think, I'll have more room for my azaleas now!" |
| Weather Blamed For Fire |
| According to Miss Maudie, because it had been so cold the
last 2 weeks the fire must have started in the kitchen. She had kept a fire
going for her potted plants and the flue in the kitchen must have caught
on fire. |
