Gaiety turned to disaster at River Falls. One of western Wisconsin's most unusual disasters took place at River Falls June 21, 1893, a day that began with pageantry and gaiety but ended in tragedy. At least seven persons, and possibly as many as 19, died when lightning struck the main pole of one of the animal tents of Ringling Brothers Circus. The seven persons known killed, four men and three women, lived in Kinnickinnic, Troy, Clifton and Oak Grove townships. The "River Falls Journal" reported only the deaths of area persons, but some witnesses claimed a number of circus workers were also killed. In Greenwood Cemetery at River Falls a dozen small, unmarked marble tombstones are located. Some local residents believe this is the burial spot for the circus workers. For many years, Ringling Brothers sent someone to River Falls each Memorial Day to put flowers on these graves.
