BLIZZARD OF 63
YEARS AGO TOOK
LIVES OF ; men
Charles, John, Stephen O'Neil
And Thomas Holden Died
In 1873 Storm

Sixty-three years ago settlers
from Willmar, south to Redwood
Falls and east to Morton were re-
gaining their breath swept away
by the fury of the worst blizzard
ever experienced in Minnesota,
which took the lives of four Beav-
er Falls men, now buried in Birch
Coulee cemetery.
A companion of the four men
who succumbed to the fierceness
of the elements, Michael Holden
of Morton, survived the lash of
the terrific blow and the penetra-
ting cold, and in his memories are
recounted the gruesome details of
the storm and the slow death of
the group. Holden died at Nor
ton 20 years ago, but his widow,
Mrs. Katherine Holden, still re-
sides there.
The party was composed OF
Michael Holden, who later on in
life carried a permanently crippl-
ed hand as reminder of the or
deal, his brother, Thomas Holden
and John, Charles, and Stephen
O'Neil, all settlers. Enroute to
Willmar January Z, 1873 with a
load of wheat the men were COM
PEELED with approaching darkness
and because of the severe cold anC
whipping wind, to halt at a set
tiers shack, four miles north OF
Long Lake. Finding the structure
already filled with frost bitter
travellers, the group decided tt
push on but their stamina soof
became exhausted and their limbs
numbed with the cold, failed tt
respond. The swirling snow blind
ed them.
Writing later of the experience
Holden related, "In the darkness
and the fury of the storm we were
unable to see anything. The colo
was terrible. We had been saying
our rosary together all evening
Before long, John got cramps IL
his legs. Charles remained in tt
wagon box and soon he did no.
talk any more. We thought hin
dead.
"Soon after this my brother
Tom died. The last prayer we sale
together was the rosary. He
could hardly finish before he tel
asleep.
Z "Then" Holden continued, awe
tried our best to revive John o.
Neil. We had lost the use of oul
hands. Soon John was covered
with snow. He did not answer
Then only Stephen and were
left. In a short time he gave out
and lay down beside the Wagon
box. Soon he did not speak.
was alone.
Lowering his head into the
wind Holden then set out in hope
of finding a shelter before he toe
| followed his companions. Final
ly he reached the home of JOIN
Maher, another settler, after hav'
ing spent 80 hours buffeting thu
blizzard.
When a party went to recover
the four bodies, Charles O'Nei
was found to be still alive but hi
died later in ST. Paul following
the amputation of his frozen legs
A movement has been started
to erect a monument at the site
of the tragedy 10 miles south o.
Willmar.

BOY SCOUTS TO
 BE GIVEN TRIP
Destination to Be Chosen at Next Mceting-TwO
 States Proposed

The jamboree troop of Mattatuck Council held their regular monthly meeting last night under the direc- ton of Milton Huffman and plans for the spring trip were discussed. Several of the boys were in favor Of going to Washington, D. C., and others thought trip to Maine and New Hampshire would be more ben- eficial. No definite decision was reached, but the committee will look into the financial side of the ques- tion and present report to troop members at the next meeting, at which time the destination will be decided. Last year the troop was scheduled to go to Washington but an infantile paralysis epidemic made 1t impossible.
 Assistant scoutmasters William Gaughan and "Sparky" Volukas were present at the meeting.
