A cyclone swept through the northwest corner of Marshall County Kentucky early Sunday morning. In Elva the home of Anderson Jones was destroyed and the entire family killed including the elderly man, his wife, a seventeen year old son and two daughters aged ten and twelve. Five coffins were buried in the same grave as hundreds visited the scene. The storm damaged Sympsonia with two stores, two churches and a schoolhouse demolished. Centerville Creamery Company won a gold medal for the state exhibit and a bronze for the national exhibit at the world’s fair.
