little one cooing in his crib, attended by Miss Mamie. All were unharmed. It was an eventful day for the Pulliams, observed the Madison Eagle a week later. An eight-year-old Pulliam boy suffered only a cut lip as he was blown from the school. The Eagle also interviewed “contractor Hawkins”, probably of the well-known Hawkins builders, as saying that ‘Mr. Pulliam has certainly suffered from the elements. His store building was burned a year or more ago.’ Hawkins went on to say that brick houses are in greater danger from destruction by tornadoes than frame structures, because it is easier for the wind to twist the roof off.
Thousands visited Woodville after the tornado, the ‘peak crowd’ being Sunday, observed the Eagle. The Madison newspaper complimented county officers, American Legion officers and State Officer H.L. Dulane for traffic control.
People visiting Woodville carried away bits of wood and debris as souvenirs.
More lasting effects were felt by Woodville families who cringed at the approach of black clouds for years to come. For the Hawkins, the Browns, the Brownings, the Pulliams, the Botts, the Kings and all the stricken families, life would never be quite the same. All had been touched by the same strange hand.
