D T & I at Storms Station

D. T. & I. Depot at Storms, Ross Co., OH 

Storms' station was named after "Uncle Johnny" Storms who contributed the right-of-way across his property. Johnny Storms was born October 1790 and was the last surviving War of 1812 veteran in Ross County.  

"The 95th anniversary of the birth of John Storms was duly celebrated by the Northwest Pioneer Association, on last Tuesday."  29 Oct. 1885 Waverly Watchman

"Mr. John Storms, of Storms' Station, on the Ohio Southern Railroad, near Bainbridge, celebrated his 95th birthday on Tuesday of last week.  There were about 250 persons on the Occasion.  The Old pioneer, it said, bid fair to reach his hundredth year." 11 Nov. 1885 Waverly Watchman

O. S. BREAKS

    There was a collision on the Ohio Southern road at Storm's Station, last Friday, resulting in the death of the flagman, John Holland
   Our understanding is that Holland was sent back to flag a train, but took it for granted that it would be a couple of hours behind time, as frequently was the case, and assumed the responsibility to lay down in the caboose of the standing train and go to sleep.  The incoming train happened to be on time and made kindling-wood of the caboose.  Holland was badly mangled.
    There was another smash-up on this side of Storms' on Monday Sixteen cars were wrecked and piled up on about the length of four.  This was caused by the train breaking in two.  A man was seriously and perhaps totally injured in this accident.

21 Nov. 1884 The Republican
