Remembering a Kingsley Tornado Photo From 1899 Chronicle
A 1899 Kingsley tornado left farms damaged near Kellner and Kehrberg. H. H. Knowles captured a distant image two miles west of Kingsley as neighbors recalled a cyclone weather event. The Kellner farm suffered the worst, with cattle moved to Sioux City and chickens stripped of feathers. A hired man warned of danger, forcing a family into a cave dug in the cellar while the tornado passed. Survivors described a chilling vacuum that sucked air from lungs, with doctors later noting fatalities from chest injuries in similar storms.

Federal Aid Short of Million Needed for Bridges
Plymouth county officials report federal help for repairing vanished and damaged bridges is unlikely to reach a hoped for million dollars. Twenty one bridges were wiped out or heavily damaged, with many salvageable components left in mud or washed downstream. The state highway commission plans temporary fixes and soon contracts for new bridges and culverts on the South Road, while a county bond issue remains the sure path to restoring the road system.
