1912 The Higbee News
Friday, 2 Feb 1912--THE NEWS FROM BONNEFEMME
The old time village known as Myers, and known in early days as "Bunker
Hill," is now numbered with the past.  The only remaining house of the
original town has fallen to the ground.  This building was used for a polling plce
for a number of years.  This will necessitate a new polling place.  In early
days bunker Hill was a village of some note.  It was a stopping place on the
stage line between Renick and Fayette.  The post office wass discontinued several
years ago on account of Rural Delivery.  All that remains near the
old original site is two modern dwellings owned by Joe B. Jones and Jno.
Barton.

1912 The Higbee News
Friday, 22 Mar 1912--George Page and family will leave Saturday for

than Mrs. Reynolds.
Those present: Geo. W. Reynolds and family, Isaac Walker and Geo Page and
family.

1924 The Higbee News
Friday, 20 June 1924, Vol 38 No 9--Baby Cyclone.--Higbee, which has three
times escaped serious damage from cyclones, had another narrow escape Tuesday
when a big storm cloud came from the southwest, bringing with it a very high
wind, and tremendous rain.  Fortunately, owing to the clouds being too high, but
little damage was done, several telephone and light poles being blown down as
well as several large trees, while many trees were damaged by the loss of
limbs.  A large maple tree just south of the West Side Hotel, and perhaps the
oldest tree in town, was blown down and landed on the residence
of Alfred Towles, but did but little if any damage.  Lightning struck the
residence of John Lilly, tearing a light meter to pieces, tore a hole in the side
of the house and tore a strip of plastering several inches wide from the wall
from ceiling to floor.  No one in the house was injured, but all were given a
good scare. The darkness, the roar of the storm and flying debris caused many
to believe the town would be blown off the map, but it is all here, we are
glad to state. The lights were put out for the day and many telephones were put
out of business. Glasgow was not so fortunate, dozens of its finest shade
trees being uprooted, roofs being torn off several business houses, plate glass
fronts blown in and other damage done.  The camp of Wood Bros. across the river
from Glasgow was hard hit and all but destroyed, several of the workmen being
injured, among them Fred Daiprai of this place.  He had just gone into a bunk
house to take shelter from the rain when a heavy tree smashed the house as if
it had been a match box, and catching Mr. Daiprai under it, but he was fo
rtunate enough to escape with a few bad bruises and slight scratches.292
