A devastating tornado swept through Conway (Faulkner County) and killed several area residents. Children cared for in the Arkansas Children’s Colony in the northeast section of town were not physically harmed, although some of their buildings were severely damaged and the children were nervous and upset. Some of the displaced children were cared for at nearby Hendrix College until their parents could come for them.
