Sheridan Lake school bus tragedy

My grandmother had a book that contained an account of a school bus that got stranded in a blizzard in the 1930's (if I remember correctly). It also seems like a memorial was erected to honor those who died. Does anyone have that book or an account of the incident and the location of the memorial, if there is one?

Thanks,
Jackie

I'd like to have the last name, or family name of your family that lived on Sand Creek. Am sure you are aware of what has taken place at Sand Creek.

I will also send this to your e-mail address.
