J. Jackson, age 14 had leg broken; Claudia Jackson, bronken arm; Freddy Goyens, 14 years old, head fractured, and four others slightly wounded.
The house was a small frame structure, built about four yeara ago, and had not even shaken from the wind when it fell without a moment's warning, pinning alll beneath the debris. A small, seven year old boy crawled out from the rubbish and went for help. Kind neighbors (a black family per Alice) came and took charge of the dead and wounded and a physician was summoned at once. Mrs. Jackson was buried in the Center Hill cemetery, while the infant of W. D. Jackson was taken to Glen
To date have not located burial for her mother or first husband.
