Great Snowfall in May Recalled.
Forty Years Ago To-Day Snow Was on the Ground

"Just forty years ago to-day there was snow in Cincinnati and vicinity six inches deep," said W. E. Hutton, the financier and member of the Board of Public Service, Wednesday. "I remember the day well," said Mr. Hutton.  "May the tenth forty years ago I was sworn in the union army.  That night we were taken to Camp Dennison, O.  The next morning, May 11, 1864, we awakened and found six inches of snow on the ground.  During the day it became quite warm, and by 4 o'clock in the afternoon all the snow had disappeared."  Mr. Hutton's regiment held a reunion Tuesday evening.
