Some persons wish to know
when the big snow of April came.
1t was Sunday, April 15, 1S49.
There had been five or six weeks
of spring weather. Forest leaves
were about half grown. Field
crops and gardens were luxuriant.
Early lots of wheat were begin
nlng to head. The snow began in
this county Z to 8 o'clock in the
morning and fell six to eight hours
The general estimate was that Il
was 6 iuch snow. Next morning
there was hard freeze. All vege
tation was killed. The dead peaches
made the ground beneath the trees
black when they fell. 1t remained
cold several days after the snow.
That was before the days of wealth
