Well, I found this on Oldtime Nebraska site:
Some 235 persons lost their lives. This was the worst storm since 1864; the
Colorado River in Texas was frozen with ice a foot thick, for the first time
in the memory of man."
I had a couple of distant relatives in Dixon County, Nebraska who died in
that blizzard.
