	EXTRA! 4 o'clock a.m. __ WHOLE TOWN OF NADEAU IS BURNING UP __ Starting From Small Fire Thought Out, Entire Village May be Burned __ FIRE ENGINES COMING ___ Marinette Sending Flame Fighter to Scene on Special Train __ Through a fire that started from a small shack late last night the town of Nadeau in Menominee county is being destroyed by flames and with the already strong hold that the flames have on the village it is thought that it will be impossible to save the town. At 4 o'clock this morning the loss is: Exchange hotel, two saloons belonging to the Menominee River Brewing company, the station agents house, two store buildings and three vacant houses. Yesterday afternoon a fire was thought to be extinguished in a shack after the roof had burned off. Late last night while the village slept the fire broke anew and had gained such headway before discovered that it was impossible to check the progress of the flames. At 3 o'clock the Marinette Fire department volunteered to send a fire engine to the scene and 25 minutes later it had it aboard a special train carrying a big crew of fire fighters. Nadeau Brothers big store was still standing at 3:30 o'clock this morning, but hopes of saving the building and in fact any portion of the town had been given up. The entire population of the town is fighting the flames. The loss at this time is inestimable.

	Employees of the Nadeau Brothers Sawmill gathered for this historical photo in the early 1900's. The mill was located east of the tracks at the north side of the Village of Nadeau. According to Journal records, when the Chicago and North Western Railroad was built from Marinette to Escanaba in 1872, the Nadeau Brothers Mill was awarded the contract to supply ties for the project. The Nadeau Brothers holdings included a company store and charcoal kilns. One of the charcoal kilns remains in that area. An advertisement in the 1912 Menominee County Atlas listed Nadea Brothers as dealers in lumber, lands, implements and general merchandise. The ad also stated they sold hemlock, pine and hardwood lumber, flooring, shingles, siding, cedar posts and poles. The mill was later destroyed by fire.
