High Ohio River Stage Alarms Pomeroy Residents
Pomeroy faces a high Ohio River stage with initial reports suggesting possible flooding near Main St unless rain and warm weather continue. The government owned dredge Jewett, built in Pittsburgh for 350000 dollars, passed Pomeroy en route to Paducah after a Racine stop, described as one of the river’s finest sand-sucking dredges. The Towboat Craig rode upriver with a tow of empty barges, advancing slowly along the West Virginia shore near Pomeroy Bend.
