- "Betty" Billie Adler:	Pretty much the entire	business district of Marshfield was destroyed in the fire. A passing train threw sparks that landed in the dry lumber in the yard. That set the fire, and it just took off and burned until there was almost nothing left. A crowd had gathered at Mayor Upham's home. He came out to speak to them. "Friends," he said, "we've had a catastrophe. But we are all still here." Mr. Upham turned to his friend Marshall Field for help, which was given in the form	of a $25,000 loan, and started the rebuilding of the town and giving employment to the people who decided to remain here in light of that.
Otherwise, they would have had no place to work and would have had to leave.
