    Louis WAYMAN, young son of Dr. L. R. WAYMAN was one of those who passed away
in the recent disaster.  Funeral services were conducted by the pastor Rev. A.
F. HAYNES at the Centenary parsonage on Thursday March 19th.  The sorrowing
loved ones will greatly miss the dear bright boy in the home.  He was at the
school when the disaster occurred.  


Additional Comments:
Widely considered the most devastating and powerful tornado in American history,
the Great Tri-State Tornado ripped through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana on
March 18, 1925. In its 219-mile-long wake it left four completely destroyed
towns, six severely damaged ones, 15,000 destroyed homes, and 2,000 injured.
Most significantly, 695 people were killed, a record for a single tornado.
