Pawtucket Gazette And Chronicle

A singular storm occurred at Dunklee's Grove, about 18 miles northeast of Cincinnati, on the 13th. The sky was clear, and there was neither rain, thunder nor lightning. Mr. E. Dunklee's house and barn, and the barn of one of his neighbors, were entirely destroyed. There were eighteen persons assembled in Mr. Dunklee's house, at a family merry-making, consisting of four of his married children and their families. Without the slightest warning, the house was suddenly lifted from its foundation and crushed to atoms. Mrs. Dunklee was instantly killed. One other member of the family was seriously injured. The rest escaped with only some slight injuries. Twenty of Mr. Dunklee's sheep were killed, and the storm leveled trees, fences, and everything else it encountered.
