Hi Jim :) I have compiled a list of Tri State Tornado victims (ones listed in Jackson Co), and I have found about 230 names at last count. I found no reference to any INGRAM dying in the tornado in Jackson co...but I ran across these names: PEARL MINNIE INGRAM, d. 12-29-33 Carbondale VELMA GREER INGRAM d. 6-12-24 Carbondale ALMA BOWERS INGRAM d. 1-6-22 Carbondale in Hamilton Co (tornado traveled thru here)...I found an ELIZA A. INGRAM, d 28 March 1925 in Broughton. Could be tornado related..... and just one more thing...In Murphysboro, a Martha L. (HELEN?) BOWERMAN died that terrible afternoon. Sorry I couldnt help you with burial locations.....Good Luck ---Kathryn
Kathryn, Well I made contact with my cousin. The one killed in this tornado were Jonathan "John" Ingram. He was born about 1871 and died in Mar 1925. He was found holding the baby in his arms. The baby also died. Now there was also his daughters Irma and Wilma that died in this tornado. That was the four from this family were killed. Now the Mother Pearl had a badly broken leg and never healed right. She married Savannas Pickering shortly after the tornado. He son Russell was also hurt but survived. I was told that Pearl and Russell were treated in St Louis. So the name I was looking for would have been Jonathan or John, Irmra, Wilma and the baby. I have not found where there names were recorded.
