The Chandler Post Office had opened September 21, the day before the planned run. When Lincoln County was organized, Chandler became the county seat. On May 30, 1897, a tornado blew away most of Chandler and killed a number of residents. September 28 is the 271st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (272nd in leap years). ...
