Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 80, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 April 1916 — Don’t Sleep So Soundly As Given Credit For. [ARTICLE]

Don’t Sleep So Soundly As Given Credit For.

iMr. and Mrs. Charley Bowers, who live southwest of town, wish to have the story of their sound sleeping corrected. The Republican was informed that neighbors who went to their home to see if they needed any assistance the night of the cyclone found them sleeping soundly, although the house had been moved several feet from the foundation. The fact is that they had not even been asleep and that they well realized the effects of the strom so far as the inside of the house was concerned. Things were jarred from the tables and the walls and there was all sorts of commotion. They did not know, however, that the house had been moved from its foundation and were surprised when the neighbors who had come to offer their assistance, found that to be the case.
