Photo Of Fairdale Tornado Victim Found 35 Miles Away In Harvard
(CBS) -- A photo from the home of a Fairdale tornado victim was found 35 miles away, reports WBBM's Mariam Sobh.
Geri Schultz was in the photo with her husband Clem Schultz. Geri was killed when the tornado touched down, but Clem survived.
Harvard, Ill. resident Evan Bottlemy was collecting debris around his property after Thursday's big storm.
"Went out for a walk and found this photo out in the middle of a hayfield in pretty good condition considering everything else was destroyed that I found," he said.
Bottlemy says he showed the photo to his wife who posted it on online and because they have relatives in Fairdale, they thought someone might know the couple.
Clem's daughter happened to come across the photo on Facebook and recognized it immediately.
Bottlemy says they are in the process of reuniting the photo with its owner.
