West Plains Me May 28 A tornado last night tore through the Pomona area about 2:45 PM. Mr. and Mrs. E B Matthews, recent movers from Kansas, died early today in a Pomona hospital as their home was blown away. An adopted son was severely injured. It’s unclear if others were harmed as lines were cut and damage hard to assess. Funeral services for the Matthewses in Leavenworth, Kan., have not been set. Matthews had long ties to Kansas newspapers and the Leavenworth Times.
