Four miles southwest of the main Cochran ranch house at the home of Adam Geist, his father and mother and three children were killed. His brother and wife were injured. Mr. Geist passed through the storm at the Deane ranch where he was working. Plainville Times, 5/23/1918 ------------------- Eleven Years Ago Tornado Swept Over County, Killing Eight. Last Monday night at about 9 o'clock a tornado began destruction of life and property at the James McIntosh farm home some twelve miles northwest of Hays and traveled in a northeast direction leaving death and wreckage in its path which was about a mile in width, though considerable damage was wrought beyond the mile of greatest fury. The United telephone company report today eight miles of toll lines entirely wrecked by the storm. At the home of Alex Geist, the twister carried away every board of all the buildings, killing both Mr. and Mrs. Geist. One half mile north of the Alex Geist home the storm killed three children of Adam Geist, ages ten months, two years and five years. Mr. Geist was severely hurt and his wife slightly injured. At Codell at least three were killed, Mrs. Walter Adams and baby, and a child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jones. Reports of others killed there have been current but it is impossible to get telephone communication at this time. Six victims of the storm are now at St. Anthony's hospital in varying degrees of danger from wounds and injuries sustained. Homes and buildings of the following were totally destroyed. Wm. Harmon, George McIntosh, Alexandher Geist, Adam Geist, P. J. deane, George Balls, the Berry farm improvement, (unoccupied), and Henry Kleinschmidt. The homes of John Gardeis, Ed Feldcamp, and numerous others were partially destroyed. Other tornadoes have visited the county, but none of such large proportions and none of such violence.
