Ithaca Storm Destroys Barns and Nets Losses Around Ithaca
A Saturday afternoon storm wrecked Jas P Gibbs barn and silo six miles east of Ithaca, windmill destroyed, orchards and fences toppled with losses over 2000 dollars and no cyclone insurance. Arthur Dibble lost a new barn farther southwest when it blew flat to the ground. He had just driven in with lumber and saved the team. Dibble had an $800 policy that does not cover the entire loss as the old barn insurance lapsed. Other nearby farm structures suffered: W N Newby lost a good barn six miles southeast. Lightning damaged Arthur Markham’s central Ithaca home by entering a chamber window and igniting a mattress, but only the mattress was lost.
