Kirkmans Thank Fire Department With Donation, Oyster Supper, Nov. 27, 1919

From The Review, High Point, N.C., Nov. 27, 1919

Makes Nice Donation to the Department

Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Kirkman last week presented to the members of the High Point fire department, through Chief A.B. Horney, a check for $100 as a token of appreciation for the efforts of the fire fighters in successfully combatting flames in the Kirkman home two weeks ago. Thanks to the efficient work of the department, the blaze was extinguished with but trivial damage resulting to the home. The gift is the largest the fire department has ever received.

Mr. Kirkman will also give the department an oyster supper on the night of Wednesday, December 3. Every member will be present and there will be speech making and the like. The note accompanying the $100 gift was:

“We wish to express to you and through you to the fire department our sincere thanks for the service rendered to us recently. Their heroic efforts and persistent work saved our home, and for this we can never thank you and the brave fire boys associated with you, enough. As a token of our appreciation we are sending to the fire department our check for $100.”
