According to the account of the fire, the men who lost their buildings, in many instances their life's saving . had been lost, were not disheartened, but immediately made plan:; for reconstruction and for temporary quarters John Brock, one of Decatur's pioneer business mon, who d’ed about ton years ago after a half century in the tinware and aluminum business, con tracted for the reconstruction of a new building while tlw old one was tW«>g ■to the ac coim of the fire:—Mr. Brock's new juilding was the first one to tie com pleted in the block and it now stands, with some improvments, however. Charles Brock, a son of John Brock now operates the business.
