From the Rolla Newspaper:
"Another cyclone passed north of Licking the afernoon of the same day. (A cyclone had passed that morning.) The first place we learn of this storm is when it struck the beautiful new home of Marion Jackson, about on mile below Hazelton on Piney river, where it completely detroyed the home, and killed Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Margaret Quirler (his housekeeper), and Joe Blanche and James Beard, 5 and 3 years old respectively. It is presumed they were all in the house when the storm sruck and were carried away into the river bottom where the house was torn to pieces. It is reported this was the most horriying scene along that long path of this terible tornado. A large stake had been driven through the upper part of one of Mr. Jackson's legs and he was otherwise mangled in such a manner that he only lived a few minutes after being found. Mrs. Quirler was mangled beyond recognition, and one of the children was found in the river, where it was hanging to a limb, by one foot. All were dead. Mr. Geo. Schultz and others came up from Hazelton Thursday morning after four coffins or the Jackson family. We understand several others were seriosly injured in this locality, but we are unable to get Particulars."
"June 1st, 1917: Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Margaret Quierler, victims of the recent cyclone were buried at the Craddock Cemetery. The two little Beard Children, who were killed in the cyclone were taken to Newtown, where their little bodies were laid to rest. They were children of Mrs. Beard, a renter on Mr. Jackson's farm. Mrs. Beard and another of her children were also seriously hurt at the time."
