This was the scene on July 3 on Mound Street prior to power line repair. Residents of the neighborhood cleaned up the tree on Friday to make it easier for the crews when they arrive, yet it took several days to resolve the situation, according to residents of Mound.
On July 3 members from the Bluffton American Legion Post cleaned up storm debris at the Steinmetz residence on South Main Street. The trees that fell where from the home of Melvena Lewis. Her husband " Dutch" was a WWII veteran. Members from the post who assisted were Dennis Morrison, Tom Benroth, Tom Craig, Bob Amstutz and Sam Reineke. Bob Amstutz is in this photo.
