The next week, The Progress provided extensive coverage of the disaster which directly touched some O’Fallon residents. In Murphysboro, the mother, sister and nieces of Mrs. H. A. Moody were injured when their home collapsed. Louise Pieron lost three cousins there--one in a collapsed school building—and learned that three other cousins were injured. Also in Murphysboro, Kate Schott, a sister of Mike Keller, Sr., and her husband Charles were seriously injured and their home was destroyed by fire. Josephine Mosteller of storm ravaged DeSoto, Ill., died in O’Fallon of shock after being brought here by her sister—in—law, Mary Scott. And there were certainly others not reported at the time.
