Nolensville, Tennessee Tornado

November 1900

The number of houses destroyed in the Nolensville neighborhood is 16.  There were two fatalities, as follows:  MISS NANNIE HAMPTON, aged 25; MRS. NANCY BRAMLETT, aged 65.  Of the 12 injured two have broken limbs.  All of the 16 houses were totally destroyed.  Mr. Hampton had $400 in money, and this was blown away and only a part recovered.

The baby of Jim Christman, colored, reported lost, was found 300 yards form the house at 10 o’clock, lying near a branch, uninjured.  One of the family dogs was lying by its side.
