  1. (continued from previous page)
    About a hundred years ago a very severe wind storm took place.
    Hiouses were knocked down and large trees rooted from the ground.
    Stacks of corn and hay were carried for miles.
    It has been called the night of the big wind, and there are very few living today who remember that night.
