Weather report on the day of John's death:
MORE WINTER
A Pelting Rain Yesterday -- Indications are More Cold
Long cold and disagreeable winter had another inning yesterday. A cold pelting rain as predicted covered this entire section. It was so cold at one time during the day that it looked as if the rain would turn to snow, which it did during the night.
In many places it was zero weather. It is having its effect upon trade and the farmer is beginning to feel that it was nearly time that he was allowed to go to work.
