Fire and Death Clintonville Tribune- At about 11 o'clock, Wednesday night the town was aroused by the ringing of the fire bells and shouts of excited people. The glare of flames directed the crowd to Albrecht and Humm's meat market which was wrapped in a sheet of fire. Nothing could be done to save the building, a frame structure, which communicated the flame to Wm. Dittberner's tailor shop and residence which also burned. Two men, Henry Folkman and Henry Grundt, occupied rooms over the meat market. Grundt was awakened by stifling accusation and discovered the room full of fire and smoke. He rushed down the burning stairs into the street the heat blistering his head, hands and feet in a horrible manner. Folkman it is presumed never awoke from his slumber, being suffocated and burned in his bed. His remains were discovered and removed from the debris in a few hours. Folkman was one of the early settlers in this part of the country, a man of kindly disposition, with everyone his friend. He leaves a family of grown up sons and daughters all but one residing in Clintonville. Mr. Dittberner's property was insured for nearly what is was worth; in the Germania.
