Five lives were lost and it is estimated that millions of dollars worth of damage to crops, roads', railroads and personal property was sustained. Many parties of children on their way home from school were marooned, and many close calls, along with the fatalities were reported. Hull suffered with the balance of the county in the loss, by drowning, of Miss Mina Brunsting, 13 years old, orphaned girl of the R. Brunsting family. She and the three Wegter children, Peter, Janet and Johanna, were on their way home from school in a closed-in school buggy, when it was swept from the road two miles north of Hull, into a swollen creek, ordinarily dry. The three children saved owe their lives to Ervin Graham, a farmer living north of Hull. Mr. Graham, who was driving behind the buggy in which the children were riding, saw the four washed from the road, and rescued three of them. Before he could get to Mina, she had been carried into the depths of the muddy water. Mina'a body was found the following morning by Peter TerMaat. It had floated for nearly a mile and was entangled in some wire at a bridge. Hull Index 1926-09-24.
