Wendell, The great storm of January 1888 affected parts of the country clear down into Texas. Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas and Nebraska were especially hard hit. There are a couple articles about the blizzard on the Iowa Old Press website, in the section for "Iowa News from Across the Country" - 1888: http://www.iowaoldpress.com/USA/1888.html Regards, Sharyl Ferrall co-host, Iowa Old Press - finding our ancestors in the news! http://www.iowaoldpress.com ------- >>I am looking for information or stories about the blizzard of January 12-13, 1888 and how it affected southwest Iowa. Thank you. Wendell <<
