Aftermath Cleanup

Published Wednesday, June 5, 1996 in the Gurdon Times

Friends and relatives help Elsie Clark clean up damage from the Memorial Day tornado, which destroyed and outbuilding on her property and ripped trees from the ground in the above photo. The bottom picture shows the mobile home owned by Jonathan and Debbie Weems. Their home was completely demolished by the high winds, and they had no insurance. The Weems family lost everything they owned in the twister and are in need of all household items. They also have a two-year-old child. To help, contact Mary Burns at 353-5202 or Archie Weems, where they are staying.
