The TALES you probably never heard about

SOUTH DAKOTA

[Welland Tribune, 6 July 1900]

To the Welland Tribune:

The crops of South Dakota are only one quarter of a crop at present, and if it does not rain very soon there will be none at all; as it is, wheat will have to be harvested with a hauler.

Sunday we had a very heavy wind and thunder storm. Wanby, a small town 25 miles from Bradley, is in ruins now from the effects of a small cyclone; one child killed and several injured, was the latest report. I am well and enjoying good health. From one of the old Welland boys. Yours truly,

Lewis J. Brittin
Bradley, South Dakota
July 2, 1900
