the time Of the terrible flood has
written her sons, Lewis and Joe, IN

part: "The loss OF life and property
cannot be estimated. The rich and
poor suffered alike. There are no
street cars, no water to drink with
out boiling and no gas to boil It.
We cooked in our furnace for a
week for sixteen people and boiled
rainwater to drink"
"The water rushing up higher and
higher, accompanied by terrible ex
pIosions and the screams of people
for help, was dreadful. At first
men were paralyzed with fright, bul
number launched out in boats and
we're saved, although it took great
courage to cross that dreadful stream
with houses, men, horses and stocl
of all kinds floating by. Some peo
ple were on housetops as long as two
or three days"
"In Dayton View. where we live
we we're high and dry. We had
good fire in the furnace and warmed
many sufferers fom ther flood, men
women and children. We could no
buy any food in Dayton, but supple
we're sent in from all parts OF tn
country"
"There were thousands of pianos
and other furniture floating aroun
in the streets. Two blocks in th
heart of the city were burned OF
: by fires caused by gas explosions. A
s night, there were no lights and th
e rushing Of the water, the terrible e.
