J.M. Lowe's New Barn Total Loss, March 3, 1921

The barn of J.M. Lowe, five miles north of Rockingham, caught fire Saturday afternoon about 4 o’clock, and was completely consumed. In a shed adjoining the barn were 10 bales of cotton, and this was a total loss. Also in the barn was a quantity of cotton seed and corn, and was lost.

The barn was built last fall. Mr. Lowe had insurance on his old barn, and when the new one was built the insurance was transferred. However, this expired about two months ago, and he had let it drop. His friends sympathize with him in his loss.
