Windy St Patrick's Day 1897 Marked Worst Fremont County Storm
The Florence Tribune recalls St Patrick's Day 1897 as the windiest day on record in Fremont County. Wind ripped oil-field derricks from their mounts, uprooted trees, toppled sheds, and scattered debris. The storm coincided with the burial of Charles Breece, and workmen had to haul the body as wreckage was cleared.
