THE POMEROY CYCLONE OF JULY 6, A.D. 1893.
To THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE RELIEF FUND, AND TO THE GEN- ERAL PUBLIC :
The fact that one of the most destructive cyclones which has ever devastated any portion of our fair state laid waste the town of Pomeroy on the evening of July 6, 1893, was heralded broadcast throughout the length and breadth of our land before the next morning, and everyone held their breath almost, in anticipa- tion of the dreadful details that each felt sure would soon follow; and as the terri- ble truth became known that more than threescore and ten lives had gone out in the hour of destruction, and that more than a quarter of a million of dollars' worth of property had been actually wiped out of existence, that more than a hundred and fifty families were, in very truth, actually homeless and without so much as a place to lay their heads, or so much as clothing to cover their naked- ness, the great heart of the people of Iowa, always throbbing with the warm blood of sympathy for the children of her adoption, and with an open ear to hear their cry for help in any affliction that might come upon them, has literally unburdened itself in its generosity and in the munificence of its contribution for the succor of these unfortunate people.
The Relief Committee was selected at a meeting held at Pomeroy on the evening of July 7, at which Governor Boies presided, and when quite a number of prominent citizens of this part of Iowa were present and aided in the organization of the work. It was composed of Mayor M. F. Stadtmueller, of Pomeroy ; Mayor C. L. Granger, of Fort Dodge ; Mayor C. A. Whittlesey, of Manson ; Senator Edgar E. Mack, of Storm Lake ; Messrs. J. B. Ballard, of Fonda; E. C. Stevenson, of Rockwell City ; J. H. Lowrey, Thomas Miller, R. A. Stewart, Ray C. Brownell and C. W. Alex- ander, of Pomeroy. The Committee were confronted at the very outset with the enormous task of providing medical attendance and proper nurses for the care of about one hundred injured persons, and for the first two weeks our entire energies were devoted to this work and to the work of clearing up the débris, to providing food for the hungry, clothing for the naked, and shelter for the shelterless. At the end of that time we were greatly relieved by being able to take forty-nine of the injured to the hospitals at Sioux City, where the work of restoration began. The Committee organized by electing M. F. Stadtmueller, mayor of Pomeroy, as
chairman ; J. H. Lowrey, secretary; the State Bank of Pomeroy as treasurer and depository for the funds of the Committee, and T. B. Hotchkiss, Esq., of Lake City, as general superintendent. Senator Mack was made sub-committee to have charge of the injured, hospitals and physicians. Thomas Miller was made sub- committee to have charge of the clearing-up forces, and E. C. Stevenson was made sub-committee to have charge of supplies, etc. A committee to have charge of permanent relief was also appointed, consisting of Senator Mack, Mayor Granger, Mayor Whittlesey, J. B. Ballard and E. C. Stevenson, witlı Senator Mack as chairman.
The Committee hield regular meetings every day for several weeks. Tlie responses to the proclamation of the governor calling for aid were immediate and generous in the extreme, in hielp, food, clothing, bedding, tents, lumber, flour, stoves and money. At this date there has been received by the Committee in money the sum of $69,761.23, seven carloads of lumber, two carloads of flour, and a vast quantity of clothing - mostly secondhand, but still much of it service- able and good -some crockery, groceries, wagons, sewing machines, etc. These have all been distributed except a quantity of clothing which is being distributed from time to time. The money lias been expended in first caring for the injured, burying the dead and feeding the hungry, and, for the time being, dependent, as well as those who were assisting, of whom there was a large number for sev- eral weeks; in repairing and putting to rights those buildings that were partially destroyed ; in building homes for those who lost their all, and in furnishing the same ; and lastly, in providing for the needy for the months until they will be able to care for themselves. This Committee has provided funds for the building, or helping to build, more than one hundred homes, and has paid in full the burial expenses of every person killed in the storm, or who has since died from the effects of the same ; have supplied every call for aid in the manner best calculated, in our judgment, to put such persons in shape to become self-supporting ; have distributed clothing, bedding, etc., with the view of doing the utmost possible good with the material in hand, and of supplying the most needy cases first, and the others afterward. The Committee wish to add that they have tried to cover not only the needs of the people who were sufferers by the storm in and around Pomeroy, but also in the counties to the west, along the entire track of the storm.
The total death loss is as follows :
In and around Pomeroy 49
In Pocahontas county. 4
In Buena Vista county 6
In Cherokee county.
I2
Total 71
There is attached hereto a complete list of all the receipts of money and from whom and where received. This statement is taken from the treasurer's books, and is vouched for by its cashier as being absolutely correct. The Committee will . continue to receive and distribute any amounts received, or articles or material- contributed during the next few weeks. We fully realize that, notwithstanding the generous response of our people, it will be impossible for us to provide for all, with what has thus far been received, so that none may suffer during the winter that will so soon be upon them, but some provision is already made against the contingency and further provision will be made as we may be enabled so to do.

RESOLUTION OF THE RELIEF COMMITTEE.
POMEROY, Iowa, September 27, 1893.
General Relief Committee met pursuant to adjournment on above date. Members present : M. F. Stadtmueller, chairman ; J. H. Lowrey, secretary ; E. C. Stevenson, R. C. Brownell, C. A. Whittlesey, R. A. Stewart, C. L. Granger, C. W. Alexander, Thomas Miller, J. B. Ballard, E. E. Mack.
On motion, the following resolution was unanimously adopted :
WHEREAS, In the judgment of the members of this committee it is eminently fit and proper that some public acknowledgment be made of the very generous response made by the good people of Iowa and adjacent territory to the call for help from this stricken district, not only in the contributing of a large sumn of money, a large quantity of clothing, building materials, house- hold furniture, and articles of every kind and description that a people who had been deprived of every earthly belonging could possibly need, but also in the free transporting of all help and materials, the free personal service of the inany physicians and nurses, and the lending of a hand at every good work that would tend to ameliorate the condition of the injured and dying, and in the performance of the last sad rites for the dead by people of all classes and conditions in life; and this prompt, timely, and unselfish action upon the part of our whole people has impressed us all with a higher and more exalted view of the brotherhood of man and the responsibility that men are under to see that great calamities are promptly met with that measure of relief that the importance and necessities of the case demands ; and the further fact that the great corporations which are commonly supposed to have 110 sympathy with the struggling mass of humanity, here show that they are controlled by men of remarkably generous impulses, and with whom it is both a privilege and a pleasure to be associated in this work of bringing relief and succor to those in great distress ; and we, deeming it but an act of justice to those who have thus nobly responded in their various spheres and activities, the donors of all this generosity, and as representing these people in their trouble, privation, and dependence ; and to that end, be it
Resolved, That we hereby tender our grateful acknowledgments to that great corporation, the Illinois Central Railroad Company, for the free transporting of persons and materials to and from this place for the help of this people, and for the running of special trains to carry relief the morning after the calamity, and also for the special train to carry the wounded to the Sioux City hospitals, and for their generous response to the various requests of this committee for this people. That we desire to express also to Vice-president Harahan, who was on the ground it person within an hour after the terrible calamity occurred, and who rendered every assistance within liis power, including the furnishing of his private car for the use of the physicians and nurses, our recognition of his earnest efforts in behalf of this people. That to Capt. J. F. Merry assistant general passenger agent, for his prompt and efficient assistance ; to C. K. Dixon, super- intendent, and Charles Fletcher, trainmaster of this division, for their untiring efforts and cour- teous treatment of all the various persons engaged in the relief work, and for their personal presence, aid, and cooperation in this, we wish especially to acknowledge our sincere apprecia- tion of and earnest thanks for the same. That to all the minor officers and employés of the road who have aided in any manner this great work of succoring the afflicted, we are indebted for their prompt and efficient help. That to the various other railroads of the state and their con- necting lines, for their kindness and courtesy in freely transporting all articles designed to alle- viate the suffering of these needy people, we extend our sincere thanks. That to the Western Union Telegraph Company, for the free transmission of all messages in the interest of this peo- ple, and for the uniform kindness and courtesy of its officials, we return our thanks. That to the Iowa Union Telephone Company and the American and other express companies for the courtesies extended, we return thanks. That to the Pullman Palace Car Company, for the free use of their two palace cars for the safe transportation of the wounded to the hospitals, we return thanks. That to the various physicians and surgeons for their unselfish, devoted and untiring efforts in behalf of these people, we feel that words are inadequate to express our appreciation of their services, and the sacrifices made during the trying days and terrible ordeals through which these people passed, and during which so large a part of this community were under their personal treatment and care, and in this connection we feel that it is but proper that we should recognize especially the efficient help, skillful attention, and personal sacrifices made by the surgeon in charge, Dr. William Jepson, of Sioux City, to whom, more than any other one person, is due the
-
rapid and complete recovery of so large a proportion of the injured, and for the perfect organiza- tion and personal supervision of the hospital work, not only here, but after the removal of these to the hospitals in Sioux City. That to those who assisted in this work so materially by nursing and caring for the dependent ones during all the time of their terrible suffering, the critical periods of performing of operations, and final death or convalescence, we feel that especial praise is due for their untiring devotion to the interests of these people, and especially to the Red Cross Society, for its efficient and timely help. That to Governor Horace Boies, for his promptness in appearing on the scene of devastation in person, and for the timely and efficient aid rendered in the name of this great commonwealth whose representative he is, in the furnishing of the two com- panies of state militia to assist in keeping order, in preventing lawlessness and crime during the critical period of this calamity, and for the finding of tents for the comfort and convenience of these then homeless people, we are especially thankful. That to the officers and members of the two companies of Iowa State Guards, who rendered such timely and efficient service, we return our sincere thanks. That to each and all of those who have in any manner contributed of their means, either in money, time, services, or materials of any and every kind whatsoever, for the relief of the good people of this storm stricken district, we make our sincere and earnest acknowl- edgments in behalf of those who have been thus relieved and restored to a position of compara- tive comfort and independence.
