According to Mrs. Linda Norton, the townspeople of Fremont were very discouraged with all the tourists coming into town to see the damage. The people were afraid someone was going to get hurt as well. So, they put a rope up in front of the post office, which crossed over the street. L.D. Smith, the town's postmaster, put up a barrel with a sign: Donate to help build Fremont. He did this as a joke but after all was said and done, several thousand dollars were raised for the town.
