Wadsworth, Nevada
Catholic Church Fire
August 22, 1904
The Catholic Church at Wadsworth, a frame
structure worth about $2,000 was burned
 to
the ground yesterday morning, the building and
contents being a total loss. The origin of
the fire is not known.
the church had stood for a number of years
and was in good repair and its loss is a hard
blow to the little congregation that sustained
it. It caught fire about 3 o'clock in the
morning and the fire had a great headway when
discovered. Wadsworth has practically no
fire protection and it soon was in ashes.
The contents of the building were also lost.
The congregation will rebuild at once but
have formulated no plans at this time.
