On the 17th, Grand Forks, Dakota, was visited with a destructive tornado. The storm came from the west and travelled due east. Twenty-five or more buildings, including the Catholic Church and the University of North Dakota, were blown to the ground. The laboratory and museum in the university were almost totally destroyed, besides hundreds of smaller dwellings, storehouses and sheds.
The following were killed outright:
Mrs. Follett and her mother Mrs. Davis
I am not related to this family, just passing on this information which comes from a website called "Sault Ste Mariee, Michigan Newspaper Birth, Marriage and Death Notices." The link for the site is listed below.
