The above aerial photograph graphically portrays the destruction left in the wake of the storm. Road 6 may be seen in the foreground, stretching to the east. The Rhoda farm is north of the highway and east of the road junction. First evidence of the tornado’s wrath may be seen in the lower corner of the picture. The funnellike storm center moved east, scattering farmyard structures, littering the fields with wreckage. Almost every window in the home, which survived the blow, was broken. A garage and several sheds were demolished and one of two silos were left a pile of stone. The wind scattered a strawstack, which can be seen behind the remaining silo, and the trail of the twister is discernible by the straw scattered into the fields. Rhoda, and a youngster, Darrell Hoover, were standing in a garage when the tornado hit. The building was demolished and the two were blown into a muddy field some distance away. Both, however, escaped with cuts and bruises.

The original two-story residence contained six rooms.

This piece was the second proof of the program for a show of wildflower woodblock prints. Hazel Hannell had a great passion for the flora of the Dunes, and created a series of woodblock prints of wild flowers. Hannell trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and worked as a painter and potter, as well as designing chintz patterns for Marshall Fields. She and her husband Vin moved to Chesterton, where she worked to establish the Chesterton Art Fair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b86d68f96d45533d3b02f2e/1633125031492-28JSPM4UGMM8O1PMFOXQ/duotone+%2835%29.png VU Homecoming Parade, 1915 - VU Homecoming Parade on West Main Street, 1915 Another view of Valparaiso University Homecoming Parade festivities along West Main Street from its intersection with Washington Street in 1915.
