Friday, 11 Apr 1913--The cyclone near Sturgeon last week did more damage than was at first reported. Wm. Mathis, aged 82 years, was killed at his home a few miles southwest of Sturgeon, and several members of his family severely injured. Mr. Mathis was a native of this county, being born at Huntsville in 1830. Sturgeon was not damaged, the storm passing to the east about a mile. All the people, however, thought their time had come, and all who had cellars hurried to them. The roaring of the storm it is said to have been terrible. J. W. Winn, a mail carrier out of this place, says he could hear the roaring very distinctly while southeast of town, and that it resembled the noise of a train crossing a long bridge. So glad to see the article on my gg grandfather. Never realized it made the papers. All of the neighbor came and rebuilt the family farm house that was destroyed.
