The Huntsville Times (Huntsville, Alabama) – 21 Jul 1936,

“Record Heat

There has been no heat wave in the history of this country that has been comparable, in the number of fatalities, to that which has burned and blistered more than a scores of states since July 1.

Yesterday, the number of those who has perished as a result of it passed the 4,500 mark.

Some of these include drownings.  But the very large majority of the deaths were due directly to    the insufferable heat, mostly in a period of 15 days, when temperatures of 110 and more were very common.”
