Oklahoma town rocked by deadly tornado aftermath and aid efforts
Rescue workers worked through the night as guardsmen patrolled the debris and telephone operators stayed on duty. Storm survivors sought shelter in storm cellars while relief operators arrived from Holdenville to assist Wetumka residents. In the path of the tornado, J. L. Ramsey was killed and Marie Ramsey injured as homes and businesses collapsed. The infant in the Armstrong family survived with a broken leg after the wind carried the baby a half mile. Three travelers in the storm path escaped serious harm as their car rolled across the field.
