Amesville Flood Inflicts Heavy Losses in Athens County
A historic flood in Amesville and surrounding areas caused over 300000 dollars in damage. Federal Creek overflowed, wiping out bridges, culverts, tracks, and homes, with Amesville merchants and the Innings Coal Co. affected. Clyde Parsons, a rural mail carrier, survived by clinging to a tree overnight. Bridges on the Athens Amesville road failed, isolating residents and stranding fairgoers as power and communications failed.
