A happy event occurred at the residence of Mrs. Mattie Friedline last Wednesday. The marriage of her daughter Miss Katie Anderson and Mr. Isaac Raver of this county. He waited long and patiently before choosing a wife, but he at last found one on whom he could pour out the best of love of his heart. May they ever be happy and their married life flow along as slick as grease is the wishes of "Nip and Tuck."

Mrs. Katie Simons, is sick with typhoid fever this week.

Journal Gazette
March 30, 1920
Mrs. Katie Simons, 55, resided at the Four Presidents Corners. She had been ill at her home for some time and was unable to escape from her house. It is believed that she was killed by falling wreckage but her body was partly consumed by flames which developed immediately from an overturned stove.

The circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Will Simons, two miles north of Monroeville, are very pathetic. According to the story of survivors, Mrs. Simons was crouched on the floor of their home holding her two children and praying, when the tornado broke. In the uncanny and freakish furry of the storm she was picked up bodily and hurled away from the children and out of the house.
Body Badly Burned
She was hurled through the air about 300 yards near the wreckage of the home of a neighbor, which had become afire from the overturning of a stove.
