However, I would look in the early marriage records for both IL and IN for marriages for a Joseph Miles, and then look for all of them in the 1850 census to see if you can find a match. Also, there might be an obit for Dorcas in either the Carmi or Enfield newspaper for the period, which can be researched by the local historical society or yourself, either by coming to the area or making a donation or using interlibrary loan to get the newspaper yourself. Of course, both obits and death certificates at that time were hit and miss.

Thanks for that info! I did get to watch that program and the destruction this tornado caused is just amazing! Is there a list of deaths anywhere caused by this tornado? I would be most interested in seeing that, as this passed between Carmi and McCleansboro, where I had relatives living at the time.

function SetDomain(d) { document.domain = d; }Hi Everyone! I just saw an interesting program on the History Channel about the 1925 Tornado and thought I would pass on some interesting tidbits. Most of what was covered in the show, most of us already know from the research we've done in these two counties. The show was called "Wrath of God." What was interesting about this show was listening to the meteorologists. None of them understand what happened that day. They all said tornados don't travel for 219 miles. What they happened was there were several tornados, probably 4 or so. They think the active tornado spun off another tornado which continued the destructive path.

In the story, if I was listening correctly, I got the impression that later that night, there was snowfall, which is also very unusual. In the show they also had numerous photographs, some interviews with survivors, and interviews with authors who have researched the tornado as well as interviews with meteorologists. I apologize for not writing down the names of the survivors who were interviewed. I can't remember their names. Carol Janes --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Dr John Legier delivered my dad when he was born (and I'm assuming his 11 brothers and sisters also). My dad was named after him "John Legier Yates", and in turn, my dad named me "John Legier Yates II". My dad was born in Carmi, IL in 1938. Is this the same Dr John Legier? Also, I think he and his son live in Ft Myers, Florida now and have a practice there(?) Take care, Jay
