Lost in a Snow Storm Inspires 1893 Gov Larrabee Tale
Gouvernor William Larrabee recounts a December 1856 snow storm in southeastern Minnesota while seeking land. He describes fearing a public death report and notes he walked 15 miles after the storm eased, later avoiding intoxication accusations unless clearly justified. In other notes, the Deep River Record reports a joint church picnic and open air service.
