Woman Loses Way
During Blizzard
AMELIA—-Mrs. Irvin Forbes
experienced what might have
been a tragedy Monday, Decem
ber 31. She had started to the
home of Johnnie Mohr. While en
route to Amelia she was forced
to follow a trail through Rees’ pas
ture, due to snow blocked roads.
Visibility was reduced to a short
distance because of blizzard condi
tions.
She lost the trail and her
sense of directions and was hope
lessly lost for several hours. She
finally sighted some haystacks
which helped her find her way.
She left her home at 1:30 p.m,,
reaching Amelia about 4:30 p.m.,
a distance of 4 miles.
