Posted June 26th, 2009 by Linda Horton
PITTSFIELD, N. H., June 14--A whirlwind, last night in Barnstead and Gilmanton, destroyed about a dozen barns, unroofed many more, and also was moved several feet. A lot of timber was blown down.

PITTSFIELD, N. H., June 14--It is estimated that the loss of property by the tornado yesterday amounts to $100,000. The tremendous force of the tornado may be realized when it is stated that acres of trees from two to four feet in diameter were snapped like pipe-stems.
