Read More	Son of James Wilson "Wills" Williby and Susan Lenetta "Susie" Tibbles THE CHARITON PATRIOT Chariton, Iowa Thursday, June 1, 1899 SWEPT BY CYCLONE WILLIBY FAMILY SUFFERERS Lucas county has at last been visited by a genuine cyclone. A small but destructive storm of this kind, accompanied by a heavy rain, swept over the county Tuesday night about 12 o'clock. The course of the cyclone was from west to east. It passed north of Derby, south of Chariton and north of Russell, fortunately missing all three of these towns. The path of the cyclone was from fifty to one hundred and fifty years in width, although the force of the wind which accompanied it did considerable damage elsewhere. The first evidence of the terrible destructiveness of the storm was the home of J. W. Williby, one mile west of W. C. Brown's in Whitebreast township. Here the cyclone did awful work. Mr. Williby's house stood on the side of a hill near the base on the bank of a creek, with hills all around. The cyclone swept over a hill which stands to the west and struck the house with all its fury, completely demolishing it, and killing Mr. Williby's three-year-old boy, Gifford. The funeral services of little Gifford Williby were held from the home of Mr. Williby's father, George Williby, on east Linden Ave. this morning at 9:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Ormond, and the little form was laid to rest in the Foulks (Brownlee) cemetery in English township. Gifford was an exceptionally bright and loving child and his untimely death is a sad blow to the grief-stricken parents.
