Not so with the Leon Taylor family of Rt. 2, Faison. No estimate of damages were av ailable but the Taylor resid ence lost a portion of its roof, a tenant house was demolished, three tobacco barns were de stroyed and several shelters, used for storage of farm mach inery and equipment were de molished. The farm machinery was heavily damaged. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and their two sons. C.L. Taylor Jr. and Sam were away from home at the time, involved in a church supper. The two sons were next door assisting with barbe cue for the supper and saw the twister hit their farm. Debris was strewn over a clearing of more than a mile. The family cemetery was also hit and several of the marble markers were broken. The tall monument to the grave of Dr. B.L. Hill who died in 1860 was broken into six parts. A sau cer-like part at the tip of the monument was still the top pi ece after three sections had been broken and blown out. Staples were removed from wire fences, and the fences separated from fence post. One chimney of the house was . blown off and a section of the roofing on t(ie back part of the house was removed. Neighbors from miles around gathered early Saturday mor ning to help removed the scat tered debris from the newly planted fields.
