Misc. from page 1
TELLS OF COLDEST MARCH
Editor Johnston, The Intelligencer,
History repeats itself now and then. Fifty-four years ago this
month, I was employed on the mail packet running between
Cincinnati and Louisville, on the Ohio river. On the sixth day
of March the mercury fell to seven degrees below zero. The Ohio
river above Cincinnati froze over, and when it broke up, great
cakes of ice floated down in such masses that it required pike
poles to ward off the ice, and prevent it from punching holes in
our steam boat. This first week of March is the coldest I
remember since that time. (Signed) D. W. Butler
