Kalamazoo, MI

Spring & Axle Works Fire

June 23, 1893

Kalamazoo, Mich., June 24. -- Fire started in the molding-room of the spring and axle works, of which Senator Stockbridge is the principal owner, just before noon Friday, and gutted the rear end of the building, causing a loss of $10,000, fully insured.  The fire was so sudden that many of the workmen lost their tools and clothes.
