Hailstorm of July 11 1900 devastates Elyria scene
The Elyria Republican recounts a freak summer hailstorm that battered Elyria on July 11 1900. Glasshouses roofs and skylights were smashed while crops were flattened. The East Side Greenhouse suffered about one thousand dollars in damage and insurance covered most of it. Residents measured hailstones weighing three to five ounces with circumferences up to ten inches. Lightning struck as a streetcar was damaged and water supplies struggled during drought.

It includes exercise classes, library book events, golf course outings, art and music programs, ceramics, and senior centers with dates, times, locations, and small fees. Names of organizations and places appear sparsely and unclearly.
