    1. [MDALLEGA] Late 19th century Frostburg Tornado
    2. Mary Ellen Chambers
    3. Would anyone on the list have knowledge of a tornado which struck Frostburg on the time line 1880 - 1910?  There would have been damage around Union Street, most likely.   We have a family story of my husband's grandfather having a Dry Goods store on Union Street.  Later he moved his business to Main St.  across from St. Michael's.  This store he ran until his death in 1917.  However, the family story states his first store was damaged by tornado which struck Frostburg.   I GOOGLED but only came up with data re: the 1998 tornado damage.  We have a picture of him in front of his store with some unnamed children (could have been a few of his 7 sons).  Have no idea which store this would.   Mary Ellen Chambers
