A sprawling, fragmentary digest traces century weather lore from 1541 to 1877, noting unusually warm and cold seasons, record highs and lows, and cyclone events. It cites editorials, meteorological anecdotes, and public notices about climate, droughts, and their social impacts across Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, and nearby regions.
An obituary from Carroll County notes the death of Andrew Twaddle, last of the famed Blind Twaddles. Born into a family of nine, seven boys and two girls, all blind at birth yet highly capable, they farmed, milled, distilling and worked machinery with intuition. They could identify tree species by touch, judge horses by feel and sound, and traveled farm paths unaided. The line ended with Andrew’s death, leaving the family legacy as a remarkable, sightless, industrious clan once famous in Ohio and beyond.
Fragmentary OCR reveals a historical fiction note about Angesta widow of Emparar and William I of Germany. It references Emperors, dynastic persons, and wartime scenes tied to the Franco Prussian era with intermittent mentions of Angesta and a queen at war.
The fragmentary tale recalls a royal romance involving Auguste and a Prussian crown prince, detailing an early secret court life, a dramatic note, a duel, and a marriage that shaped a queen’s later years. It also mentions Seville cigar factory life and a mix of distant newspaper items.
