Disaster Sidelights

All who noticed farm animals dur
ing the storm said they all appeared
bewildered One animal was noticed
in particular, Guernsey bull, 2 years
old, belonging to Mrs. r. W. Casteel,
north of town. During the storm it
broke from pen and tried to enter
Mrs. Casteers home, chased every
body who came near it, and even after
several neighbors had succeeded in
getting him back in the barn kept
bellering and paving all night long.
The next day it was taken to Terra
Alta and was due to 70 on the auction
block on Tuesday, 1t had been eX-
tremely gentle prior TO the storm.
Mrs CasteePs barn was on the edge
of the storm.
Mrs. Michael Faherty and Ronald
Faherty, aged 10. Woo among those
killed in the storm at Thomas, W. Va.
They were former residents of Crel-
lin. Mrs. Faherty was formerly Mary
Sheets.
Mr.. Faherty, assistant foreman at
Pierce Mine No. 80, and member of
the miners first aid team left his
home to help around Montrose by
taking a first aid team there He had
been gone only few minutes when
the twister struck Thomas. The Fa-
herty home was wrecked and Mrs.
Faherty and son were carried 100 feet
away. When their bodies were re-
moved from beneath another building
both were dead.
Harry Bittinger, who had windows
smashed and the corner of his barn
badly damaged, told that during the
storm his back door kept bullying in
the manner Of bellows. Whenever
the bulge looked as if it would break
down the door he would rush and put
all his weight against it. When he
thought the storm had subsidized he
went out on the front porch to see
trees scattered all about him, and
looking up in the sky saw huge piece
of roofing go floating off over De
Berry's hill like d magic carpet.
Kenneth Paugh, who had part of
his roof torn away, started to his
brothers home, northward. He turned
around at the DeBerry lane as trees
started to whip around and before he
reached his home he was penned in by
falling trees across 219.
As Harry McRobie and his son Ray
mond were heading for home in their
car a school bus station was lifted by
the wind over their car to be deposited
on the hill beyond.
Rudy Schreiber of Duquesne, Pa,
Deep Greek Lake resident, was en-
route to Oakland. He got to the out
side edge of the storm when a tree
poked through the windshield. He was
unhurt.
Edw. Lawrence, enroute home, lust
got through as the storm broke,
Mrs. Gus Groves. neighbor of the
Sebolds, remarked on Saturday that
she felt she had been remarkably
spared. She and her daughter were in
the Sebold house at nine o'clock but
suddenly decided to go home Ten min
utes later there was no house. Their
own home had all windows smashed,
. damaged porch and a lost garage.
An organ at the DeBerry home was
blown from one room into another
room. While the house remained, the
front porch was severed from the
house like It had been cut with a
sharp saw. Few windows remained N
the house.
The storm originated IN Pennnsyl-
vania on the outskirts of Pittsburgh,
went through McKeesport, and took a
twisting path to Shinnston, w. Va,
100 miles away, thence through Mar
