Bartlett Yancey School Fire: 1970

"I believe that was Bartlett Yancey elementary at the time. Most of the Volunteers from Yanceyville FD had put in good nights work before battling a church fire. Both fires caused by lightning."

"Mom taught Earth Science there. I remember that she lost some personal items that she had left in the classroom as she had expected to return for the next school year."
