With Iowa being swept by a small

blizzard Of Jan, 10. 1871. which marked
perhaps the most severe storm that

Mrs, Marcia NJ. Tinker. OF this city
In 1871 u school girl In Palo Alto
county. has distinct recollection OF
this severe storm, in which she and
the other children Of The school they
attended passed thru one of the most
exciting experiences of their lives,
Marcia Hill and her parents lived
then on the prairie nine miles south OF
what is now Ruthven. The morning
OF Jan. : was as mild as May, and
the children OF the countryside started
to school with no thought OF any i'm
pending danger. The Hill home was
one and one quarter miles north frorS
the Silver Lake township dis/ct
school. That was the winter that S,e
eplzootic was sweeping the country,
and there was scarcely a well horse in
Silver Lake township. To be exact
there was but one team, owned by a
neishbor living ten miles from the
Hills.

Mrs. Tinker gays that when the
