Mayfield, Kentucky, tornado 2021 victims – Three Amish children orphaned as baby is found screaming by his mom's body
THREE Amish children were orphaned by the tornado that left parts of Kentucky, including their home in Graves County, completely leveled.
Jacob and Emma Gingerich lived a simple life with their five children in a double-wide trailer.
Neighbors told the Washington Post that when the storm touched down, their trailer "exploded," sending the family flying.
Emma's body was found feet away from her crying infant son, Ben, who was bruised but alive.
Two other children, eight-year-old Ammon and three-year-old Sarah, also survived.
The surviving children lost both parents, and two siblings: Marilyn, age seven, and Daniel, age four.
