~ Across the street from new U. S. Post .Office •
This -community was visited with
a severe sleet storm over the week
end. The storm was general over
the state and was preceded by a
heavy fog all day Saturday which
made visibility very poor. Hate
Saturday night it began to rain and
freeze almost as fast as it fell.
Sunday morning- the • trees were
coated with a thick crust of ice
which completely covered each .twig
and branch. • 3Rain kept falling* and
long before noon large 3Umbs began
to crash under: the weight of the
ice. 3tn many instances the limbs
were as large around as the trunk
of a human .body. Falling across
telephone wires, they snapped them
in two disrupting service. In ru--
ral areas whole lines were put out
of- communication in. this way. In
similar instances Edison wires were
broken and electric service' discontinued: Such'- ap. incident...occurred
near the 'Carl Smith residence and
until repair men . could reach the
spot, several- houses were, without
seivice. ■ Kerosene lamps .were dug
cut of atti;;s and pressed.into* service, ^washings.: wore done' in the old-
tiriie -manner, water;: was. pumped
by hand and articles kept jri electrical refrigerators were cooked or
siowed-away in secluded • spot= out
of dpcfcs.' Most of th'e&e inconveniences occurred'in the" country' The
•power-'-"company is to be congratulated for% the.speed and ability of
its'linemen, and" repair crews.
Much devastation was done to the
large trees on North Ann Arbor
street. An jexceptionally large ar*4
beaiutiful tree; in the back yard of
the JWalter Armbruster ,place was
severely damaged and. many -of the
large -limbs gave way" under the
ice and crashed to the ground. In
front of the< Federated parsonage
the lawn and .walk, was strewn
with branches. -The large tree, in
frOnt-of■ the ;Clay residence also, lost
many' Of. its branches. A silver
maple in front of 3M3iss I*ottie Wallace's residence had the . top taken
out under the heavy -weight; The
lawn -of the .Shurtz^ residence 3had
an -array of branches' which were
sheare'd :froin their trees. The yard
at the school was another scene of.
destruction.'" All*"along -the street it
was. the same.
'_ For some_ unknown reason the
east side'bf" town suffered heavier
losses of large limbs while the west
side was strewn, with lonig slender
branches. At the C- A. Curtiss
home the beautiful lilac bushes
which are nearly as large as trees,
bent under the heavy ifce: and lost
hiany of their branches -which would
soon have been a bower of blossoms, The smoke bush, which
many of us have admired, was damaged greatly.
On North Harris street the large
limbs came -crashing down from
nearly all the big trees. One especially, beautiful one In front of
the Herman Bredernitz residence
was severely damaged. Near the
Charles -Tower home a large tree
split in two and fell in either direction. At the corner of Harris
and Henry streets, 3Mrs. Gertrude
3M3uir has six lovely trees, three poplars and three maples. They all
lost limbs but the poplars suffered
the greater. loss. The sidewalk was
covered and a large evergreen tree
drooped so low under the weight
that it finally touched the ground
and "froze fast remaining in that
condition until late 3Msonday afternoon.
The lawn at Trinity Lutheran
church was completely covered with
branches. All along 3M3ic3higan avenue large limbs were toppled over
on the margin so as to clear the
street, and the sidewalk. At the
Bruce Dodge residence an unusually
large limb crashed onto the margin.
Several of the large maples lining
the walk in front of the Fred April!
residence lost branches from the
tops. Some young trees at. the
John Schleh home lost branches.
So it went all over town. Trees
could not bear the heavy weight
of ice and large limbs tore away
from the tree trunks majking; a
wierd creaking Sound as they
plunged earthward. Sometimes they
fell across streets as at the 3Fred
Bur3khart corner, sometimes they
landed across driveways as at the
B. J. Spitler residence. Sometimes
it seemed almost like parting- with
ai member of the family as a favorite was crushed. It might have
been the tree grandfather or grandmother planted, it might have been
a particular shady ifook in the summer but all were treated alike by
the relentless storm. Soon' spring
will be here, leaves will soon cover
the gaping chasms where branches
are gone and much, of the beauty
of the trees will be restored. However, much work must be done in
Clearing away the debris before the
streets look natural again.

WE DELIVER * - CONVENIENTLY LOCATED * *• ~ Across the street from new U. S. Post .Office • This -community was visited with a severe sleet storm over the week end. The storm was general over the state and was preceded by a heavy fog all day Saturday which made visibility very poor. Hate Saturday night it began to rain and freeze almost as fast as it fell. Sunday morning- the • trees were coated with a thick crust of ice which completely covered each .twig and branch. • 3Rain kept falling* and long before noon large 3Umbs began to crash under: the weight of the ice. 3tn many instances the limbs were as large around as the trunk of a human .body. Falling across telephone wires, they snapped them in two disrupting service. In ru-- ral areas whole lines were put out of- communication in. this way. In similar instances Edison wires were broken and electric service' discontinued: Such'- ap. incident...occurred near the 'Carl Smith residence and until repair men . could reach the spot, several- houses were, without seivice. ■ Kerosene lamps .were dug cut of atti;;s and pressed.into* service, ^washings.: wore done' in the old- tiriie -manner, water;: was. pumped by hand and articles kept jri electrical refrigerators were cooked or siowed-away in secluded • spot= out of dpcfcs.' Most of th'e&e inconveniences occurred'in the" country' The •power-'-"company is to be congratulated for% the.speed and ability of its'linemen, and" repair crews. Much devastation was done to the large trees on North Ann Arbor street. An jexceptionally large ar*4 beaiutiful tree; in the back yard of the JWalter Armbruster ,place was severely damaged and. many -of the large -limbs gave way" under the ice and crashed to the ground. In front of the< Federated parsonage the lawn and .walk, was strewn with branches. -The large tree, in frOnt-of■ the ;Clay residence also, lost many' Of. its branches. A silver maple in front of 3M3iss I*ottie Wallace's residence had the . top taken out under the heavy -weight; The lawn -of the .Shurtz^ residence 3had an -array of branches' which were sheare'd :froin their trees. The yard at the school was another scene of. destruction.'" All*"along -the street it was. the same. '_ For some_ unknown reason the east side'bf" town suffered heavier losses of large limbs while the west side was strewn, with lonig slender branches. At the C- A. Curtiss home the beautiful lilac bushes which are nearly as large as trees, bent under the heavy ifce: and lost hiany of their branches -which would soon have been a bower of blossoms, The smoke bush, which many of us have admired, was damaged greatly. On North Harris street the large limbs came -crashing down from nearly all the big trees. One especially, beautiful one In front of the Herman Bredernitz residence was severely damaged. Near the Charles -Tower home a large tree split in two and fell in either direction. At the corner of Harris and Henry streets, 3Mrs. Gertrude 3M3uir has six lovely trees, three poplars and three maples. They all lost limbs but the poplars suffered the greater. loss. The sidewalk was covered and a large evergreen tree drooped so low under the weight that it finally touched the ground and "froze fast remaining in that condition until late 3Msonday afternoon. The lawn at Trinity Lutheran church was completely covered with branches. All along 3M3ic3higan avenue large limbs were toppled over on the margin so as to clear the street, and the sidewalk. At the Bruce Dodge residence an unusually large limb crashed onto the margin. Several of the large maples lining the walk in front of the Fred April! residence lost branches from the tops. Some young trees at. the John Schleh home lost branches. So it went all over town. Trees could not bear the heavy weight of ice and large limbs tore away from the tree trunks majking; a wierd creaking Sound as they plunged earthward. Sometimes they fell across streets as at the 3Fred Bur3khart corner, sometimes they landed across driveways as at the B. J. Spitler residence. Sometimes it seemed almost like parting- with ai member of the family as a favorite was crushed. It might have been the tree grandfather or grandmother planted, it might have been a particular shady ifook in the summer but all were treated alike by the relentless storm. Soon' spring will be here, leaves will soon cover the gaping chasms where branches are gone and much, of the beauty of the trees will be restored. However, much work must be done in Clearing away the debris before the streets look natural again.
