September 11, 1919: “Fire destroyed the saw mill of J. R. Pickett & Sons, early last Tuesday morning, together with several thousand dollars worth of lumber stock in the yard, and the Azalea postoffice. The family were awakened about one o'clock in the morning by the glare and noise of the conflagration, and it was then too late to save much. Mr. Pickett states that the mill will be rebuilt at once, the new machinery having been already ordered by wire, and the plant will again be operating in short order. The origin of the fire is unknown. There was no insurance.” (The Glendale News)
