On October 29th, 1917, at around 10:30 p.m. in Pittsylvania County, Virginia a tornado moved north-northeast two miles near Gretna killing a baby and injuring least four other people. It arrived north and dissipated east of Motley. Fifteen buildings including six homes were destroyed. One of those buildings was Gretna Christian Church.
