The fire ravaged the school building, causing $300,000 in damage, according to old news clippings. Another Lyons resident, Jacob Keller, also died â âovercome by excitement of the fire and fell dead of heart disease. On his return home he was telling members of his family of what had occurred, when he toppled over.â
