1949 Tornado


Roy Hudson, Letter from Red Cross

"My grandparents, Roy Hudson (1877-1964) and Barbara Huitt Hudson (1888-1972) of Warren were both critically injured in the 1949 tornado which totally demolished their house. (The deed to their destroyed house shows they purchased it in 1946 for $550.00, and their monthly payment was $15.00.)

This is a letter and the enclosed accounting they got from the Red Cross."
