Jan. 12, was the 71st anniversary of the blizzard of 1888, an event that will remain as one of the great disasters to visit the state. The great storm came in the afternoon of Jan. 12. 1888. follow ing with sudden force over the greater part of the state, bring ing loss of life and livestock in the north and western part of Nebraska. Old timers that pass ed through. the full force of the storm never forgot the perils of that day. It is related tha; the storm came suddenly, the day having been an average winter day, until the sweeping wind and the blinding snow came in from the northwest. In the then lightly settled area of the state the storm was at its height, catching schools just at quitting time in the after noon. Many thrilling stories of the heroism of teachers who with their students were caught in the schools, many unable to be rescued until the next day. Stories are told of teacher and children who were compelled to burn furniture to keep the school warm enough to keep from freezing. Many persons perished trying to reach shelter and the stock loss in the state was terrific, many areas losing all of their stock. Following the storm, the tem perature at Omaha was 39 de grees below zero and in the west ern section was even lower. The event was observed Mon day at Lincoln by "The Bliz zard Club." composed of per sons who had gone through the storm or their descendents. A Classified Ad in The Journal cost as little as 50 cents.
