In 1889, in the year that Hedwig Matilda Chapman was born, on May 31st, the South Fork Dam collapsed.

The newly formed Red Cross responded to the disaster.
Did you know?
In 1938, when she was 49 years old, on October 30th, a Sunday, The Mercury Theatre on the Air broadcast Orson Welles' special Halloween show The War of the World's. A clever take on H.G. Wells' novel, the show began with simulated "breaking news" of an invasion by Martians. Because of the realistic nature of the "news," there was a public outcry the next day, calling for regulation by the FCC. Although the current story is that many were fooled and panicked, in reality very few people were fooled. But the show made Orson Welles' career.
