Historians George Crout and W. D. Vorhis begin a series marking the 50th anniversary of the 1913 flood. The piece includes interviews with residents recalling the Great Miami River’s brutal rise and the destruction across Miami Valley and Middletown.
Fifty years after the March 23 1913 flood Middletown recalls the disaster that spurred flood protection. The Maloney family remembers the rising Miami River and frozen hills as waters crept toward the city and nearby towns.
A devastating flood moved through Middletown from Clark Street east to the river, lifting and washing away houses and barns. It forced 1 000 families to flee, inundated water works and wells, and left streets, cisterns, and homes covered in silt while relief efforts organized across schools and the Manual Training Building.
Middletown hosts the 18th annual county safety conference bringing together safety leaders from across Butler County. Key figures include cochairs Robert E. Moore and Ralph Meade. The day features sectional meetings with speakers from Albemarle Paper, Armco, the Ohio Industrial Commission, and the National Safety Council, plus films and demonstrations. Dr. Cleo Dawson and Dr. Arthur Secord headline the luncheon and banquet at the Manchester Motor Inn.
