THE GREAT CHICAGO CONFLAGRATION
As years roll on, the great fire of October 8 and 9, 1871, which laid waste such an extensive portion of Chicago, destroyed such a vast amount of property, and was the direct cause of the loss of so many lives, is becoming more and more of a mere memory, and in these go-ahead days of making history will soon become a mere tradition. In order, therefore, that the remembrance of those men who so bravely fought the flames on those two eventful days may not be forgotten there is published today in these columns a complete roster of the Chicago fire department on October 8 and 9, the correctness of which can be vouched for by the survivors.
