Midwest Storm
Strands Train
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A savage winter curtain call of
fierce wind, snow and rain storms
howled across the Midwest during
the weekend and swept eastward
with undiminished fury.
At least nine deaths were
blamed on the whiplash storms.
The late winter storms left thou
sands of persons stranded for
hours. Included were nearly 350
passengers on four Chicago and
North Western Railroad trains
which got stuck in 12-foot snow
drifts in Wisconsin. All of the
trains had sufficient fuel to heat
the cars and all passengers had
food during their enforced lay
overs, ranging up to 12 hours.
The last of the stalled trains,
with 150 passengers aboard, was
pulled free late Sunday night
eight hours after it was halted hy

Civil War
Veteran Dies
At Age 112
KINGSPORT, Tenn. AP) The
roll of Civil War veterans was cut
in half today with the death of
112-year-old John Sailing, a Con
federate soldier from nearbv
Slant, Va.
Stricken by pneumonia last
week. Sailing was brought to a
Kingspoit clinic Thursday. But
doctors said he was too old to
light off his last illness.
Sailing's death leaves only one
other known survivor of the war
which disrupted the nation almost
a century ago. He is Walter Wil
liams of Houston, Tex., also a
Confederate veteran now past 116
years of age.
The Virginian retained his men
tal faculties until his last illness
and enjoyed talking about his boy
hood experiences. He was only 16
when he enlisted in the Virginia
forces opposing the Yankees.
Scores of descendants survive
the old soldier, whose wife died
nearly 20 years ago.
Survivor 116 Yaars Old
HOUSTON. Tex. (AP) Col.
Waller Williams' prediction came
true today. He became the last
survivor of the Civil War.
The frail, once-spry Utile man
is 116.
John Sailing, the only other sur
vivor of the four million or so in
Blue and Gray, died today in
Kingsport, Tenn., at the age of
112.
Williams' daughter, Mrs. Willie
Mae Bowles, todav said "He
heard on the radio the other night I ',:, ' tt
tht e.jiiio ,o. in u ..iTj continues
to me how much lie d like to go
see him if he could."
Mrs. Bowles did not immediate
ly tell Williams of Sailing's death.
Williams made his prediction in
1954 that he would be the last sur
vivor.
He spent most of his earlier life
at his farm near Franklin, in east-
cenuat lexas.
He now is bedridden nd not
aware of much that goes on
