Colorado Flood Claims Mother and Two Infants
A flash flood in eastern Colorado wrecked homes and crops, drowning Dixie Underwood, 20, and her two infants Linda, 2, and Nan, 8 days, in a basement apartment northeast of Fitzsimons Army Hospital. Her husband Robert, 22, was away at work. The storm, dropping over three inches at Stapleton, flooded Denver streets and forced evacuations. Nearby Cameron Pass faced 20 feet of snow, with high water reaching Boulder and Longmont and a bridge lost on Highway 119 near Ninot. In Greensburg Indiana, Walter E. Parker, 62, died of a heart attack before crashing his wrecked car three miles south of town.
