No more will the youth OF the eoun

not yet born who in future years will
tell assembled thousands Of how they
first saw the light of day in log
cabin but they cannot boast OF an
education in one unless they leave
Maury county and move to a newer
civilization.
With the passing of the old school
house at Philadelphia and the sub

new building.

Mich. and in 1851 to Montcalm county.
Three years were spent in the above
named county, after which Mr. Sloan
and family moved to Gratiot in 1854.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron Sloan were
born five children, William H., Oct. ~,
1887, Hiram D., Almira, Aaron F., and
Rachael +.
Upon the arrival of Mr.. Sloan and
family in Gratiot county, he took up l60
acres of land of the government and
commenced to hew out for himself and
family a home in the then dense forests
of Pine River township. At that time
Ralph Ely, father of our townsman 7.
A. Ely, was the only white settler in
what is known as Alma Mr.. Ely then
living in a log shanty on the bank of
Pine River near where the Planning mill
now stands. VIM, Sloan lived with his
parents until Nov. %. 1857, when he
was united in marriage to Diana Cald-
well, then living neer where Forest Hill
is now located. At this time Aaron
Sloan gave his son William 40 acres of
government land and William bought 40
more and, erecting thereon a log cabin,
commenced hewing out for himself and
family a home in the wilderness. In
1861 VIM. Sloan traded the above farm
for one near Palo, where he lived until
1864, when he again returned to Gratiot
and purchased so acres of land one and
one half miles north of Alma, In those
days st Johns was the nearest trading
point for the settlers in this part Of
Michigan.
Two daughters were born TO Mr. and
Mrs. Sloan. Caroline, now Mrs. +. Rog.

SATURDAY NIGHT, N9V. Il
Storm the elimination Of Day Of High wind
and High Temperature

Death and destruction were visi
ted upon Owosso late Saturday night
when a cyclone of five minutes dura-
ton struck the city from the s.uth
west, and swept over a strip about a
half mile wide Two were killed, 25
injured, one perhaps fatally, and over
a half a million dollars worth of pro-
perty damaged.
The storm was the elimination of
a violent windstorm which lasted all
day. During the day the tempera-
turc had been around 20, and just be
fore midnight the thermometer drop
ped to below freezing. At the same
time the wind increased in fury until
il reached the state of a tornado
while the four-story plant of the
Homes were destroyed. great trees
uprooted. roofs taken off buildings.
while the four1story plant OF the
Estey Manufacturing company a
frame structure, 3OOxSOO feet. was
leveled to the ground and timbers
from it carried three blocks away.
Church steeples were sent crashing
to the ground, brick chimneys were
sent flying through the air, plate
glass windows shattered and in many
places where homes were not COM
plctely destroyed every window was
broken, and for a time the air was
full of flying timbers and glass.
Screams of women and children,
thrown from their beds or pinned
under debris, were heard on every
side Men scurried about with Ian
terms. barefooted and bareheaded
That only two people were killed
seems almost miraculous in view OF
the way in which houses were trm-
bled about, and escapes from death
during the storm were so many that
il would be hard to enumerate them.
The dead are Mr.. and Mrs Harry
Corwin, living at the corner of Flet-
cher and Cedar streets. Their house
was tipped over and the wall caved in
on them. crushing them to death.
Three other occupants of the house
escaped without injury
