From The Choctaw Herald, Butler, Alabama, April 27, 1893, pg. 4:

Another terrible cyclone swept through a portion of Choctaw county on the night of the 19th inst., dealing destruction to everything that came within its range. The first accounts we have of it was on Mr. Wm. Allen’s place, a few miles from Pushmataha, where outhouses and fences were blown away and giants trees were torn up by the roots and twisted to pieces. The wind then traveled on in a north-easterly direction, completely destroying the Henry Braswell old place, and thence on between the plantations of Messrs. Edgar Tew and Rute Williams to the W.N. Horn place, near Pushmataha. Here it seems the most damage was done, nearly every negro house on the place, together with the barns, other outhouses, fences and trees were completely destroyed. A horse belonging to Mr. Hardy Horn, was blown out of the stable, carried a hundred yards away and when found was so completely penned up by fallen trees and rubbish that it was necessary to cut a way to it. A large oak tree was found deposited in Mr. Horn’s field, which was evidently blown a great distance, as diligent search for some distance around has failed to discover where it came from. A negro man who was in one of the cabins when it was blown down, was carried some distance, and received painful, though not serious injuries, other negroes received slight bruises, but none are thought to be of a serious nature. The Horn residence, which is an old, well-constructed building, and where Mr. Horn’s family were, was slightly, if any, damaged. The path of the cyclone was about three-quarters of a mile wide and extended on after leaving this county for many miles, but very little that is definite has been heard farther than Pushmataha.
