In 1882 a fire was discovered in the lumber yard of Henry Michel, which was located in the vicinity of Second Street ( now Pitman) and Elm Street.  It was reported that the fire was fought by a 200 man bucket brigade.  While fighting the fire, it was discovered that the three-story frame building to the east on the corner of Second Street (Pitman) and Whitehead was also on fire.  That building housed the Methodist Church, the school and on the third floor the Masonic Lodge.  The fire in the building started on the 3rd floor and arson was suspected.  All was loss.  Today (2019) the block is home to Friendship Brewery.
