"The Roanoke Leader" - April 30, 1924:
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN WAKE OF A CYCLONE
......The most tragic work of the destructive storm, one of the worst that ever visited this part of the country, was done at the residence of T. B. Slagle, seven miles south of Roanoke (in Chambers County). This was one of the largest dwellings in the county. It was an old time hewed log house that had been ceiled and weatherboarded and additional rooms built to it, with a second story added above. It stood in a grove of giant oaks and all are gone. Even the pillars on which the building rested are moved. Miss Cordelia Slagle, a maiden sister of Mr. Slagle was killed. TOM L. SLAGLE, his 17 year old son, with the bed on which he was sleeping, was blown a quarter of a mile and he got up and walked back to the place where the dwelling had stood to find his aunt dead and his 14 year old sister Mildred painfully hurt, both jaws being broken. In just a little while this brave young man gave way to internal injuries and the physicians hold out very little hope for his recovery......
