New Ulm Review: The severe storm Of
Dec. 4th brought death to two families in
this vicinity. A family living in Sibley
county lost q son, who froze to death
within fifty steps of his own threshold.
The young man and his father left home
to visit neighbor, and lost their bear
ings. The son became SO benumbed with
cold that his father burrowed into
snow-drift for shelter, and left his son to
procure aid. When he finally reached
house he WAS eight miles from home.
In the meantime the young man had left
his shelter and gone in search of house,
but was overcome with the cold when but
few rods from his own home. He was
not found until Monday morning. [The
details of the other case will be found on
another page of the GAZETTE.
