Tree crashes through home in Alexander during Thursday’s storm


(Updated 06/25/2019: Last sentence.)

The storm that rolled through Saline and Pulaski counties Thursday, June 20 caused area-wide damage and a power outage. In Alexander one home was cut in two when a large tree in the front yard was uprooted and fell.


According to an E-mail sent to The Alexandrian by JoAn Churchill the home is owned by Iona Melton. Churchill said Melton was at home with her granddaughter at the time. Neither were injured. The home is located at 14700 Hwy 111, across from the former Human Development Center.

“As a community, it would be good to try to help her,” Churchill said in her E-mail. “I can't do much alone.”

Churchill suggested making a donation in Melton’s name to the Alexander First Baptist Church; write on the memo line "for Iona Melton." Churchill says she was told by the Alexander fire chief the Red Cross is helping, and suggested a donation to them in Melton's name.
