1901 Earthquake in Southern Ohio

SOURCE: (UT) Progress May 25, 1901
Friday morning at 3 o'clock, Wellston,  Ohio, was visited by a most pronounced earthquake shock.  The first disturbance was of sufficient force to awaken many persons.  It was followed by two hard convulsive shakings of the earth in many places displacing household furniture. Advice from Zanesville, Portsmouth, Ironton, and Huntington WV, states that the shock was felt distinctly at those places.
