Scope and Content

A remnant of a scrapbook page with three black and white photos on one side and four black and white photos on the opposite side. a) depicts a group of men riding in the back of a truck and linemen working on utility poles. A caption is handwritten on the white border below "C.I.A.S. Men at Work". b) depicts two men holding a bed frame, posing for the camera. The handwritten caption is "Rummaging for furniture". A destroyed home is behind the men. c) depicts a building at the Orient #2 mine. Debris from the storm is scattered across the ground. The caption reads "Tipple at Orient #2". The building is the tipple, a structure used to load coal onto railroad cars. d) depicts a car under a debris pile. The caption reads "remains auto smashed up". e) is not a tornado photo. The image depicts a cadet band from the College for Officer Training in Chicago. The caption reads "Session of 1924-1925". f) depicts a female Salvation Army cadet standing with a group of men, women, and children. She is holding a notebook and pen. The group is standing next to a large canvas tent. The caption reads "Cadet Day W.F. 3/25". g) depicts a view of damaged homes in a West Frankfort neighborhood. Mattresses are draped over a fence. The caption reads "Scene on Gardner Street". The northwest side of West Frankfort was hardest hit by the tornado so this is probably North Gardner Street.
