Thirty-two people lost their lives that evening and hundreds of Kirksville citizens were injured.\u00a0 The May 12, 1899 edition of &#8220;The Kirksville Weekly Graphic&#8221; estimated property damage at a minimum $125,000. Doctors from Macon and other near-by towns came to help local physicians treat the injured and over $24,000 in unsolicited donations came in from around the U.S. to aid those who lost their homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textClass\">The first sighting was in the air near the lower iron bridge, about 12 miles southwest of Kirksville, shortly before 6:00 pm.<br \/>The first touch down happened near Troy Mills and destroyed the Lorton\u2019s barn and the Leech orchard.<br \/>The second touch down came a mile or so south of Kirksville, taking out the slaughter house in Wilcox\u2019s meadow and the residences of Otis Miller, Jr and Volney Johnson.<br \/>And, finally, on the crest of the hill south of town, it claimed Mr &amp; Mrs Calvin Little as its first fatalities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d9e7dba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d9e7dba\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1776f0\" data-id=\"a1776f0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12fe142 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12fe142\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For information concerning this exhibit contact: <a href=\"mailto:speccoll@truman.edu\">speccoll@truman.edu<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f78f9d0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f78f9d0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b81b3c\" data-id=\"4b81b3c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-154aad4 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"154aad4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/library.truman.edu\/special-collections-archives\/digital-collections-exhibitions\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Digital Exhibition Homepage<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Path of the Storm Shortly after 6:00 p.m., April 27, 1899, a cyclone traveled through Adair County, touching the ground just south of Kirksville and lifting again several miles northeast of town.
