Greek, few miles from Brnle, and
about eighteen miles west of Iron-
ton, in this county. OF % buildings
at the plant only three were left stand
ing. and they were badly damaged.
The mill was torn to pieces and its
contents scattered about. Fourteen
people were injured but none killed
outright, though one unfortunate,
Kelley Nash, who had but recentlyre-
moved there from Graniteville, can
not recover. He was eating lunch in
the company store when the storm
came. Rev. Lee Ooker's residence
was partly blown away and his wife
seriously injured by the flying furni-
ture. The dwelling of Charley Jay
cox was demolished and its contents
scattered about. Although the fami-
ly were asleep in the house they es-
capped injury. Of eight houses stand
ing in row seven were completely
destroyed, and the eighth left unroof-
ed and but one room remaining. One
Wo1nan-Mrs. Nash-was blown one
hundred yards into field, and when
found was completely denuded of her
clothing, She held her babe in her
arms and it was unhurt. These are
the facts so far as we can get them.
The phones are down and the locality
OF the storm is not easy of access.
The Estorm ranged toward Brule,
Belleview, to Iron Mountain and
through st. Francois county. At Iron
Mountain the old hotel building was
urroofed and many windows shatter-
ed. The passing of the storm was ac-
companied with one of the heaviest
hail storms ever known to this coun-
try. For twenty or thirty minutes
hail, the size of hen eggs, beat furi-
ously down. The course of the cy-
clone was farther west but similar to
that Of the one that swept through
Munger on the afternoon of May 80,
1917, when SO veral lives we're lost and
much property destroyed.
