Saratoga Springs Saratogian, Friday, Sep 4, 1959, p4
Excerpt from "Old Paper Recalls Depot Fire of 1899"
"This week, a friend brought me a copy of The Daily Saratogian for Thursday, Feb 9, 1899, and since The Saratogian and all its files and records were destroyed in a later fire, the Arcade fire of 1902, this issue is of value and interest."
........
"THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE conflagration in Saratoga Springs since the paid fire department was established, has passed into history and the only feature of it that money cannot replace is the loss of one life that was sacrificed to the elements James V Snyder, the watchman."
