ALBANY EVENING NEWS, Albany, New York, May 3, 1929  This 28 page newspaper has a nice banner headline on the front page:

* 44 LIVES LOST IN WIDESPREAD STORM

with subheads that include: "TWISTER HITS SCHOOL HOUSE; TWELVE KILLED" and more. (see)

This tells of the tornado outbreak in Virginia and Maryland in which a school in Rye Cove Va was hit directly during class time. Other news of the day, sports and advertisements.

Minor margin wear, otherwise good.
