- Description
- Segment from "Goodbye, The Levee Has Broken" - By Wednesday, March 25, 1913, "The Great Dayton Flood" headlined in most U.S. newspapers which projected death tolls of up to ten thousand. Additional cities in Ohio and Indiana along the Miami River were also influenced by the flood as railroad tracks were submerged or completely swept away. Telegram service was reinstated at John Patterson's company which allowed residents to send out pleads for help and requests for rescue materials. People remained stranded in larger houses within the top most floors, attics, and roofs while those less fortunate within smaller houses were swept off. For General to General. Keywords: Flood, Dayton, Ohio, Indiana, newspapers, John Patterson, Miami River, Ohio River, telegram service.
