Severe southern freeze described in early ground cover disaster
The account recalls a heavy four to six inch snow with rapid thaw, followed by an icy crust. Trees and limbs bent under weight, towns like Butler damaged, vegetation stock and cattle harmed, merchants spared but widespread losses across the South. No serious injuries reported, but many deaths in the north and west as thousands lose property and lives. The nationwide press calls it the severest freeze on record.
