Most of die people in Duplin
County drew a sigh of relief
when the tornado watch was lif
ted last Friday night and they
wore secure and unharmed.
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.
A young man travelling High
way 117 just west of the Taylor,
farm was blown off the highr
way, his car badly damaged
as the tornado swooped down and
cut a path through the woods to
the Taylor farm.
Paul Johns, aministerail stu
dent, returning home on Rt. 1
Maple Hill was transported to
Duplin General Hospital by
Warsaw Policeman Raymond
Starke. Johns was treated for
lacarations of the left arm,
also abraisons and bruises, and
was released.
A seat belt, in use by Johns
was attributed with saving his
life as the Mercury Comet he
was driving was hurled through
a wooded area breaking out
tree tops and scaring others.
Portions of the car have not
yet been found.
