WYNOT TRIBUNE  NOV. 25, 1948


SNOWSTORM ISOLATES WYNOT; ELECTRICITY OFF, ROADS BLOCKED

Wynot - owing to the blizzard school was dismissed last Friday 
forenoon. Roads in all directions were blocked.  A few tractors and 
a team and wagon were the only means of travel seen.  Electricity was 
off Thursday and Friday afternoons. There was no mail or bus service 
Friday and Saturday and the town was out of bread.

The heavy thunder and vivid lightning Thursday afternoon and during 
the night seemed more like a spring storm.  The county maintainer was 
out Saturday opening the streets.

The funeral of Merritt Smith which was to have been held Saturday had 
to be postponed owing to the blocked roads.  No services were held at 
the Methodist Church as the pastor, who comes from Yankton, was unable 
to get here.  The Luther League meeting at Bethany Lutheran Church was 
not held.  Services were held at Sacred Heart Church Sunday morning.
