Severe Windstorm Visits Edgewood


Edgewocd experienced one of
the hardest windstorms last Satur-
day night that has probably ever
visited this section Of the country
and as result four large barns are
now a mass of ruins, many wind
mills are blown down, trees broken
off and torn out by the roots, tele-
phone lines are badly damaged and
damage done to such an extent that
tits impossible to estimate the loss
in dollars and cents. The storm
broke in all its fury about seven
o'clock in the evening and lasted
for nearly an hour. There seemed
to be three clouds coming from as
many directions and as they met
northwest of town there began to be
something doing.
The first place to receive the full
strength Ct the storm was the large
barn on the old JOHNNY Hesner farm
northwest Of town which is now
owned by G. F. Hesner. Here il
tore the barn to pieces and flattened
it out on the ground, covering sew.

barn at the time the storm struck,
but all escaped free from danger.

and commencing on the north end
of the building, proceeded to split
it in two in the middle and scatter.

Four days prior to her death q
daughter was born, who, with the
grief stricken husband, parents and
one sister, Helen, survive her.
The death of this young woman is
the cause of profound regret and the
sympathy of wide circle of friends
is rendered the bereaved ones. Mrs
Deutmeyer has always lived in the
community where she died and was
held in high esteem and beloved
by all who knew her. She was

leaving the east end half standing
there just as good as it ever was.
Here there was no damage done to
the stock either.
From Mr.. Wiley's barn it made a
clean jump to John Schacherer's
large new barn which is lett in a
mass of ruins. 1t killed one horse
and two cows and wounded one
horse and one COW so badly that
they had to be killed later on. Be.
sides completely wrecking the barn
it smashed his windmill and other
minor things which, taken together
will make a several hundred dollar
loss for Mr.. Schacherer, being Gov
cred only in part with insurance.
Joe Thurn's fine new big barn
was the next place of interest and
when the storm finished its job it
was sad sight indeed. The peo-
pie were just doing the chores when
the wind began to blow and had
only reached the house to turn
around and see their barn being
torn to pieces and smashed into
kindling wood. There were several
COWS in the barn at the time and
two of these were killed instantly
and six more badly injured. Mr..
Thurn's loss will also be heavy but
is partly covered with insurance.
A scale house on Mrs. John
Funk's farm was destroyed and the
the porch on Rob Lillibridge's resi-
dence torn off.
The following were some of the
farmers who lost their windmills in
the storm. We don't know as we
have the list of all of them but here
are some: A. j. Eaton, Dick Way,
Lon Hubbel, B. w. Peet, John Putt,
Mrs. George Culbertson, Henry
Wiley, Chas. Rossow, Len Fisher,
Il. A. Waldo, Phin Wandell, Luc-
ious Noble, Mrs. John Funk, John
Schultz and John Hesner.
1t will be pretty hard for the
farmers who lost their barns as it
is now time to put up their hay
and they will be compelled to stack
it out doors, and at the same time
put up with conveniences of getting
along without barns at all. We I'M
derstand they expect to build new
ones Just as soon as help can be had
so as to have them in readiness for
the cold weather which will follow
later on. They are all hustlers and
they will not be without barns any
longer than they are obliged to.
The storm did not do very much
damage right here in town but we
all thought it would finish us up
completely before it quit. 1t took

of @. S. Maxson's warehouse which

the officiating clergyman and unat-

parlor arch while the music con,in-

service was pronounced by Rev.
T. G. Young. After numerous and
hearty congratulations beautiful
wedding supper was served. Good
cheer prevailed An original poem
by Sam Virtue was read and fur
Their delight to the guests was ac-
