Information About

Mrs. Andrew Whitehead




Mrs. Whitehead was driving a Horse And Buggy between Devils Lake and Fort Totten with her 3-year-old son when the blizzard hit. When her horses became too tired to continue, she stopped the wagon, unhitched the horses and set them free. She hoped someone would come along and render assistance. The rescue party arrived too late. They found Mrs. Whitehead frozen to death in a snowbank, clutching her son in her arms. The little boy's hands and feet were severely frostbitten, but he survived.Jackson, William, The Best of Dakota Mysteries and Oddities, Valley Star Books, Inc., 2003, ISBN 0-9677349-5-9, p. 110
