There was a tornado March 18, 1925 that went through Murphysboro, Illinois. It was one mile wide and killed nearly 700 in three states. Winds were 62 miles an hour. 234 died in Murphysboro. We don't know if this was the tornado that killed Joseph or not. There is a more tri-state newspaper report in the Arnsmeyer File Folder.
