July 23, 1936.-- One of the worst dust storms in history struck Riverton Sunday evening darkening the sun, breaking down trees, etc., but no serious damage has been reported. Many housewives who were away from home have several days work cleaning out dirt. In some places the dust drifted like snow......Miss Minnie Chrestensen of Riverton and Misses Hazel and Nedra Heaton of Shenandoah, spent Sunday in Fremont, Nebraska. They were caught in the dust storm on the return trip and went to Shenandoah, spending Sunday night there. N.B.: During the second World War, Miss Hazel Heaton of Shenandoah was the mathematics teacher in Sidney High School. -- W.F.
