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.
