As stated before, the bodies of the Coffee family were all found among some stumps in an old field near the homestead, the form of little child being wrapped around one of the stumps.
 Charles Bachman was the first to reach the scene, and he quickly dispatched mes- senger to Edwardsville, who carried tho news of the fearful disaster. In a short while hundreds of people were coming to the scene, ready to do anything in their power to help relieve the suffering and care for the dead.

With the child in her arms Mrs. Stiepan crawled out from the ruins and ran towards the home of a neighbor named Hlton but fell in a faint as she approached MT. Hilton, who, seeing the work of the winds, was coming to the rescue.
 Continuing on it's career of destructions the cyclone struck the house of J. H. Ca son, leaving it a mass of ru'ns Mr. Cason and three members of his family were in the house at the time, and all were in- jured.
 Mrs. Runnells, a lady of 75 years of age who is Cason's mother-n-law, received sev- eral ugly gashes about the head She is not expected to live.
 In a northeasterly direction the storm moved on with fearful rapidlty. Leaving the valley, 1t mounted a large hill and split into two sections.
 Only One Witness to storm
 It seems that only one man witnessed the approach of the storm. Charles Coggins, a farmer, was standing on an opposite hill to where the cyclone divided, and could see the terrible destruction it was wreaking. He describes it as a funnel-shaped cloud, wh ch could be heard for miles as it came tearing along on it's course of destruction. He says when it hit the hill 1t split into two divisions one going around the hill and the other jumping clear over It and demolish- ing the home of a negro named Ben Stan sel. He and his wife and five children were all in one room when their cabin was struck by the storm, and all were badly injured. However, 1t Is thought that none of them will die.
 From here the cyclone made long skip, coming to the earth again about a mile above Edwardsville. It then commenced to lose it's force, and its last work was done

Origin of Cyclone


 As near as can be ascertained by tracking 1t must have started somewhere near Iron City, a small town twelve miles west of Edwardsvle The wind commenced to gain in. velocity, and it moved rapidly eastward blowing down trees, fences, small houses and everything that lay in it's awful track. The further it went it's power grew strong CT, and when the home of Lewis Coffee was reached the strong log structure was pick ed up bodily and carried two hundred yards before 1t fell totally demolished. The fam ilW were whirled into the air as bits of tis- sue paper, being finally dashed to the ground among some stumps, where their crushed and mangled forms were found by the searching party.
 g 5th More Disastrous Work
 After playing such fearful havoc with the Coffee home, the cyclone proceeded to the house of J. ". Wilder totally destroying the same. The Wilder family were in Geor- gia, and no one was hurt. From here the tornado moved on to the residence of a MT. Norton, but, taking a new direction, the house escaped destruction, being turned half around.
 The next family to suffer was that of An drew Stiepan, a German farmer. The house, which was built of heavy logs, went down before the terrific force of the wind, and Mrs. Stiepan and her child were buried be- meath the mass of twisted logs and frame work. F. almost a miracle neither were instantly killed. though both suffered sc- were injuries. MT. Stiepan was away from home at the time. and escaped uninjured.
