A severe wind storm struck Jefferson on Thursday night, damaging homes and businesses in Frogtown through Oakwood cemetery and Howellton. Despite heavy destruction, no injuries were reported. The most damaged structures included M. W. Reavis' house, OC. H. Proctor's property, Meisenheimer and Schillinger stores, and the Berin church. Townsfolk reported many trees toppled, fences wrecked, and a wagon lifted into a tree. The storm spared the business district somewhat and extended into Howellton.
